PreWriting – My purpose for this portion of my paper is to set the guidelines for how and who i will be interviewing. It should obviously help me since it will provide new information for me to report. The reader will also be helped since its new information that hasn’t been collected before. The difference between this and the rest of my project is this will be more personal to me as a researcher, since i will be collecting and organizing the data.
Methods- Looking for a research method proves to be a challenging task at first, thinking that the researcher has to collect new data would be enough to worry anyone. Upon reading more on methodology, the best choice for the paper would be to conduct my research on the golf course with golfers of different abilities.
The first of the research will be conducted using a few friends of mine. It is believed that this can limit the truthful research in a paper, but for this paper, it will be as unbiased as possible. To do this the participants in this study will be left mainly in the dark as to what the whole paper will contain. By doing this it can eliminate some bias if the participants are not influence one way or another. The limitations are understood though, friends or family of a researcher will always be looked at as biased, with any luck though this will not be an issue.
My forms of research will be going to a golf course and collecting actual data on the course. To do this scores will be compared with mood, body language and obstacles on the golf course. Two different types of players will be used, novice and experienced. This will definitively change the results since a player with less experience more than likely will not be as connected with the game.
Some of the major factors that are to be considered when collecting this data is interpretation. Since the methodology will require taking scores and situations and comparing them against body language and other factors.
