Week 5 Response

I have gathered many different types of sources for this project. I have sources that directly relate to my topic like the official website of the organization nationally, to sources that discuss women’s roles in architecture and related fields, to sources of information trying to “call” more minorities to pursue jobs in the field of architecture. I think many types of sources can give very diverse information that will lead me to making good papers. I haven’t found information that I can connect to what I am observing, and that is the current information I am looking for. Some of my information from sources I have found could probably be used to make theories about why the club I am researching are so limited as far as members go. I would also like to find sources that provide information about plans for getting children of all back rounds involved with this profession. This could possible lead to an overall increase of architects in the country.

It sounds like you are doing good so far, even though you have lots left to do!! Besides looking for information that is connected directly to your observations, you could as look for information on a more broad part of your subculture. Like just the minorities that are involved and also minorities that are already in the field. Just a thought.... Good Luck :)

It looks like you are well on your way to a great final project. It seems as if you have started gathering valuable information for your final project. I am also having trouble finding information that directly relates to my observations directly. It is extremely difficult to know what information is going to be useful when connecting observations and research. I hope you find what you are looking for! Good Luckkkk!
