DBF2 Create a visual aid that will help your classmates to understand and remember Creswell’s 9 characteristics of a "good" qualitative study (found on pages 53–55). For easiest access for discussion, paste your visual aid directly into the textbox of your thread. If you use a software program that does not allow the "copy and paste" process, you can upload the aid as an attached file; however, keep in mind that opening files can be cumbersome in the discussion process. Be creative with your visual aid and use color and visuals to help your classmates retain these 9 important characteristics. Katherine – Your eye-catching design is wonderful!

There was one issue I had with your design, and that was that it captured the contents of Table 3.1 on page 46 beautifully, while my understanding of the assignment was to capture the elements detailed on pages 53-55 and the elements in Table 3.1 are those within the second characteristic of the nine listed on pages 53-55 (Creswell 2013). You may find it helpful to check the assignment requirements again. Reference Creswell, J. W. (2013). Qualitative inquiry and research design: Choosing among five Thousand Oaks, California, Sage Publications, Inc. approaches Deborah – The pillars construct provides an excellent model for the nine characteristics. The graphics are appropriate and provide distinction to the concept. Alternating their placement top to bottom allows the eye to travel across the image, taking in greater perception of the elements. The use of varied color to detail the individual characteristics aids in retention as well as being The use of the painter’s easel and artwork does not resonate with me for detailed methods, but that in itself makes it memorable. Each of the other images I find right on target to the characteristic named. Balanced and bright, this image will definitely aid in memorizing those characteristics. Regards, Deb
