- Between weeks 8 and 12, each student should provide a weekly reflection (500 words) on the data you have collected to date.
- What data did you collect?
- What is your initial impression of the data?
- How have the data you have collected this week changed/progressed your thinking about your research project?
- What challenges did you encounter while collecting the data?
- What are your next steps?

- This wasn’t as helpful as I thought it would be. It focused more on mothers being ill-treated because of their race and doctors having low viewpoints of them. However, what I am searching for is more found in the last chapter, the idea of what is the ideal family, the moral way of creating and maintaining one. One term used was “babymaker” as a stereotype for unmarried, black women. Something like this is helpful for my project.
