Theme 1:
I totally agree that discussion is a great way to piece together the true meaning of the texts. It was much like holding a dialectic! Great summary of the different topics between Kant and Plato, you make it easy to read and understand. I find it funny that we view our world in a democratic way, if everyone agrees - then that is the general truth.
Great that you could pinpoint what you could've done better, I myself sometimes have a hard time figuring out why things went wrong. Was also in one of the larger groups and could feel the that there was too little time for questions, hopefully it won't happen too often. I must agree that Plato´s text was easier to comprehend, there was a certain flow and he did explain roughly what he was after - Kant on the other hand used brute force and arguments to get his point across.
Well-rounded reflection indeed! Keeping the quote about "being a judge, not a pupil" throughout this course might prove useful - thanks for the tip! I wonder if there are other terms like dialectic that can be applied to our former texts, by learning from our future texts.
Nice thought about perception as a whole, how it differs from person to person. In theme 2 there was something called Historically determined perception (or Contextually determined perception), I wonder if it fits the context of our biological differences or if the term refers to a broader scope, like popularity of art throughout history?
It seems like you got a firm grasp over the subject. I would also like to hear what your opinions were about these texts: great, bad, difficult, easy? Nice summary about concepts needing to exists to form knowledge!
Theme 2:
You had the exact same revelations as me! Nice summary of what we learned, easy to read and understand. You could have mentioned that the realism Henrik Åhman referred to is also known as "classic realism", but that is just a minor gripe. Great reflection overall!
Hello!
Interesting topics and subjects! Something I would recommend for future posts is to separate your paragraphs just a little more, makes it easier to see if the subjects are connected. Interesting question about enlightenment there in the end, I do agree that enlightenment kind of forces us to abolish new ideas and puts us into a locked down mindset. It was probably because of this that A&H was suggesting bringing classic realism back, or at least modernize it. Great reflection, cheers!

Understandable, and enjoyable -> Great reflection! Cheers!

Theme 3:
Hmm interesting thoughts, I hadn't thought about theory in that way. Also a nice analysis of the question "what is man?". A tip: add blank spaces after each sentence and comma, makes it easier to read!
Nice summary of the subject! It feel like the text does kind of cut of at the end, maybe you could have some summarizing thoughts about the week, to tie everything together.
It is great that you tell us what you thought of the week, it is interesting to see if others thought the same way. I agree with the practicality of this weeks assignment, it feel like you can use this knowledge out in the real world.
Nice that the lecture was helpful, I myself found the first half to be interesting but the second half was a bit confusing - had to go back and re-read the slides afterwards. You have done a good job in summarizing the concept of theory, I do enjoy the list!
I do agree about the fact that explaining theory around what it is not was way easier, at least in the beginning - gradually I felt that the concept came around and became clear. Ending the post with some final thoughts is great! Keep it up!
Theme 4:
I agree that quantitative and qualitative research was quite a familiar subject even before we had it in this course. Realizing that research is not about finding definite proof but more about finding the existence of such an event was interesting.
You captured more or less all of the things I also found! That NEO FFI personality test was also interesting!

Theme 5:
Totally agree that Haibo was a lot more business focused, maybe it was refreshing - to me it felt so out of place that I got confused. The way you define design is clean and easy to understand, kudos!

Nicely done, you keep the facts straight and on point! You thesis on replicable research is interesting, do you mean that subjectivity stems from our historically determined perception, I'm guessing you are. Interesting!

You bring out your thoughts in a way that is on point, it's straight forward and I like it! Haibo had a better paper and a "worse" lecture, while Anders had the other way around as I see it. The way you go against Anders quote of "knowledge" is interesting!
http://amlinden.blogspot.se/2015/10/theme-5-reflections.html?showComment=1445201547460
Hmm, to me the Johnny English example felt a bit redundant - or at least he showed it for way to long. The example from the newspaper you read is a lot more interesting to me! Anders did prove a great point that you have to analyse data to actually create theoretical value.

You keep it simple with a minimum of fancy words which is nice for the readability. I would've liked to hear about the seminar aswell, how it went and so forth. Anders in the second lecture talked a lot about the process and how iteration leads to great knowledge generation. He did sometimes feel quite vague which made it hard to interpret his message. Nice summary!

Theme 6:
Both your pre and postreflection are great, they have a nice flow to them and summarize your points in the of best ways. The fact that you believe the iteration curve is exponential feels natural and I agree with the statement. Unless you have a breakthrough very deep into the study, then the graph of progress would probably take another turn.

Interesting! When you mention that "Fayerabend argues that not by using a strong method will it produce scientific progress" does that entail that we should not use methods like in the old days to gain the most knowledge or should we still strive to use the ones we have today? Is it pointing towards case-studies as a broader answer because of its inherent iterative nature?
Great post, cheers!

Sound like you have really grasped both the concept of quantitative and qualitative methods as well as case studies. You have displayed you findings in an easy and understandable way that is enjoyable to read, great job! The limited length of papers is an interesting note, with the advent of digital technology our capacity has surely increased a lot. The bigger problem I believe is if people really want to read a study that is 10 000+ pages long
http://mediafluttery.blogspot.se/2015/10/theme-6-reflection.html?showComment=1445509115416#c7861013052255271105
Because of the fact that case studies are iterative and contain an ongoing process, for how long is it efficient to continue? I do agree that they surely are really efficient at the start when the subject and topic is new and fresh, when you can pick the lowest hanging fruit with ease. Interesting example with the gamer tag that people are getting nowadays. I think you mean quantitative when talking about the questionnaire? Qualitative methods would be when the answers could wildly differ from each other, going into new branches of information - as I interpret it. Otherwise a great post! Cheers!

I think case studies are more of a strategic approach, which can use both quantitative and qualitative methods to gain knowledge on the subject, at least as I understand it. Quantitative and qualitative methods could be seen as tools, maybe, it is the context in which you use them that is important. Interesting post otherwise, you clearly bring out your thought and opinions which is great! Cheers!
