This document provides instructions for an assignment on participant observation for a media and communication studies course. Students are asked to immerse themselves in an existing group to observe and participate, making notes. They should develop a topic list and use terms like access, key informants, and theoretical sampling. The assignment asks for a 500-word report and instructions are provided. A skills lab is scheduled for tomorrow along with handing in the first assignment and conducting the second assignment. Readings from Rubin & Rubin chapters 7-9 are also assigned.
