Chapter 2: part 2

While reading the second part of the chapter 2 reading, I was introduced to double-entry notes. This is essentially, choosing to study an object, person, or instance for several days and taking notes in two seperate columns, one for the recorded notes and the other for the note-taker's response to the recorded notes. When I first read this entry in the book, it confused me, I wasn't really sure what it meant by double-entry. So, I decided to go back and read it a second time and found it really very simple. On page 98, their is an example of double-entry note-taking about a girls trip to her friend's sociology class. It's a rather simple and a bit comical at times, she doesn't try to take notes that are complicated. I suppose this helps me, since now I know I don't have to take complicated notes, also knowing the double-entry method should be very helpful.
