Unit 3. Field Analysis
Intervening Dimensions
Field notes should include not only descriptions of what happens in a setting, but also a record of the researcher's feelings, interpretations, intuitions, preconceptions, and future areas of inquiry.
These subjective comments should be clearly distinguished from descriptive data by using parentheses and the initials "C.O." (Observer comments).
Those trained in objective observation may find it difficult to accept the observer's feelings and interpretations as an important source of understanding.
Spaces and Subjects
A detailed description of the setting and the position of the people within it provides important insights into the nature of the participants' activities, their patterns of interaction, their perspectives and ways of presenting themselves to others.
In many total institutions, the front or front regions (the areas visible to outsiders) are primed to present the appearance of benign, idyllic shelters, in which inmates receive adequate care and treatment.
Not all aspects of a scenario will be significant. But you must warn and ask the meaning of everything that is observed.

Formal Analysis
Perhaps the tentative reflection, which takes place from the collection of data, the one that produces the most important apprehensions; it can vary in the degree of complexity.
Some researchers record comments outside the transcript of their discussions with students and include them in the final report.
