Is it going to be that hard?

I hope that the process can only get smoother from here.

Will be meeting with two really important professors in the next month in order to clarify some important method issues and quality of results.

The topic area and research question is very much fixed but now the next step is to figure out how to access and assess those data.

I will be talking to more people to find out their perspectives and see if I can learn anything from them.

Is qualitative really that controversial? Doesn't everything stem from interpretive standpoint? You basically EXPERIENCE something before you want to study more about it right?

And so why do so many people have so much problem with this paradigm? Isn't this all about understanding how people feel?

Must everything be quantified in order to be valid?

(Bizarre...)
