in social and health research
 Time to ask questions

 Trained in quantitative research
(masters, doctorate)
(1974)
 Began teaching qualitative research methods
(1985)
Started writing about mixed methods research
(1988)

7. My Story
 Developing as a writer
 Incorporating my book writing into my classroom teaching
 Continuing to learn new methodologies
 Working in education, social sciences, and now health sciences

8. Developing as aWriter
 My vast library of books on writing
(1982)
(see Chapter 4 “Writing Strategies
and EthicalConsiderations”)

9. Incorporating My Book Writing into myTeaching

10.  Students identify a research project at the outset of the course

 In each class session, I allow time for students to take the content and apply it
to their project
 Students share the step they have worked on with the larger class
 Students turn in periodically the components of their project, I provide written
feedback
 I have my graduate assistant record questions asked, so that
I can adjust my rough chapter content

11. Continuing to Learn New Methodologies
