This provided experience in qualitative data collection via ethnography, qualitative data collection and analysing strategies such as transcription, coding and interpretation of produced data as it is assessed in my Researching People and Place module. My degree gave me the opportunity to develop my already confident presentation skills through group and individual presentations, on a tutor group scale and presenting to my entire course. I am confident in taking a lead role, laying the groundwork, and picking up where others feel less confident. Show less
