To give you an idea of how much writing we had to do, I had my final paper: 5036 words; weekly reflections and writing assignments: ~15,000 words; midterm paper: 3200 words; a 10,695-word transcript; 7000 words of responses to peers—that makes for a grand total of approximately 41,000 words!
Times that by three courses...
So I, yes, I went a different direction with my final reflection on the course.
I just got braces, so I won't be posting a video of me singing it for you (because I still feel like I am learning how to talk around these things). My enunciation isn't the best right now, so I added subtitles (which is always a good idea for videos anyway).
We had to answer a number of questions in our response (mentioning a peer who was particularly helpful, what readings were particularly useful, things of that nature) so it's smashing a bunch of random thoughts together but...it more or less made sense, I thihnk.
Here's what I tried to sing (I also played the ukulele, which is why the chord markings are there):
C F
In QUAL 8400 we learned a lot of things
G7 C
on qualitative research and how that research brings

perspective to our fields. Each choice in method yields
G7 C. G7
an emic understanding of our planetary sphere. Oh!
Chorus:

Phenomenology

ethnomethodology

hermeneutics, grounded theory
D G7
critical traditions

ethnography and sym-

An online class can lack familiarity
G7 C
but Roulston's got a knack for improving cam'rad'rie:

Our screencasts helped us view each other face to face.
G7 C G7
And seeing Taylor out of class improved my own head space. Oh!
Chorus
C F
Each chapter of Prasad was masterfully done,
G7 C
I'm sure in coming days, I'll pull it out a ton

to jog my memory on methodologies
G7 C G7
of the "human capacity for interpretation" (Prasad, 2018, p. 3). Oh!
Chorus
C F
Patti Lather's chart describing paradigms
G7 C
Was mentioned in each class I took; it's always on my mind.
F
As nervous as I am about research design
G7 C. G7
this course gave me some fledgling hope that things will turn out fine. Oh!

Premiere (by Adobe) has a feature where the program will automatically transcribe the video and turn it into subtitles for you. It is pretty handy! Most of the time my transcriptions have been fairly accurate—I still have to go through and make sure things are spelled correctly and fix a few errors.
I started doing that today and then just about lost it because I noticed that the automatic transcription was so far off of what I thought I had been saying. Either was speaking much less clear than I thought or the ukulele sound waves were confusing the algorithms because this is what I ended up with:
And then a lot of things are different.
And how that brings perspective to our day
to day and elegance
and each other made it very clear.
So standing on all the key
and I'm gonna keep doing this.
And the dairy Queen, the tradition.
Kennedy spirit took a beating
in the direction of monetary.
And then I gave him up
for everything that wasn't good.
And in the end,
pretty good as he has been in the past few
days and saying,
these are not a pleasant day
and the cheeks softening on
the dollar trade.
And it's been very critical conditions
and mean
you look at in the mind for
each chapter of the cycle, but you do
need to put it on a chart.
I mean, I, I do have that you need to
keep your interpretation of them
math on on the three
and the methodology and understand
the theory critical condition.
Let me move here.
You can see the numbers underneath
to believe this chart is getting
very down to
something I might have mentioned today.
Everything you say can be simplified.
Things of the things that are now
part of the middle of the day.
And I'm going to do the GDP minutes
for the very critical British
ten minutes
period took place in the quarter.
And so from where we see.
As I read I kept laughing harder and harder because that makes no sense!
Andrew sent me an article recently about how AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-generated poetry. In this case, I think you could make the argument that...that might not be so. Perhaps it is dependent upon which AI platform you're using. Adobe Premiere is not it. Granted, its task was not to write poetry; it was to transcribe discernible language, a task that was complicated due to the overlapping sound waves of my voice and the ukulele accompaniment. AI tools are very narrow in purpose, so I can't really expect Premiere to take my garbled sound waves (dancing in and out of ukulele sound waves) and spin them into a poetic masterpiece.
Still!
It just got better and better (or worse and worse) as I went along trying to fix up these subtitles! I ended up having to retype everything and align the subtitles with timestamps in the video manually, but I guess having AI try to transcribe things was worth it just for the laughs.
