I don’t know how to handle this Sociology question and need guidance.

Assignment 1:

You are part of a team of researchers who gained access to study bank robbers. There is a lot to learn about bank robbing and you have developed rapport and trust with several important people who are powerful among this group. Robbing banks, you learn, is much more complex and involved than you had imagined. You have been invited by your connections to engage in participant observation (where you will go along on the robbery and observe the events that unfold) as well as conduct interviews. As a researcher, you need to take extensive field notes where you document all events as they actually occurred and all talk verbatim. Field notes are your data like numbers are data for quantitative analysis.

1. Write a discussion post about how you will proceed with your research. Remember that you are bound to uphold the expectations established in the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects.
2. Which aspects of the basic principles of the Belmont Report might be hard to maintain?
3. How will you protect yourself and your respondents?
4. How will you document the data that you gather?
5. Provide your feedback to two other students about their responses to the questions presented above as well as how they plan to proceed with their research on bank robbers?

Assignment 2:

One of the most important skills to learn is self-reflection. This allows you to not only understand a topic but to also understand how that topic applies to your life. To hone that skill throughout this course, you will be keeping a Reflections Journal.

Prompt: Google and explore the UC Berkeley online resource “The Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement.” Find at least one oral history there and write a journal entry that connects that oral history to one or more of the readings this module. Responses should be at least one fully developed paragraph.

Troubleshooting: Below you’ll find the link that will take you directly to the page–

https://bancroft.berkeley.edu/collections/drilm/ (Links to an external site.)

Once you’re on the above page, select the second bullet point that says,

“Enter The Collection: Oral History/Archives.”
