Outline and Purpose of the Course	Ethnography is seen as one of the key methods for design. At minimum, designers need to understand the field in which they are to introduce their designs. For this, it is not enough to ask people; it is necessary to gain a first-hand understanding through experiencing the lives in the field. Through ethnography, designers can grasp taken-for-granted experiences and start to look at their problems from a fresh perspective. In this course, students will learn the basics of ethnography (e.g., how to write fieldnotes, how to make observations and how to analyze the data) and develop their skills through group projects. This course focuses on the ethnography part of design although in reality it cannot be separated from the rest of the design. Students are encouraged to take other courses on design so that they can fully exploit the insights gained through ethnography.
