Dear colleagues and friends;
I am preparing a project of ethnography course for my graduating students, so i'm asking about the best and innovative practical and method to teach a methodological Course such as: The Ethnography?

In my opinion, the best method to teach ethnography is to let the students do ethnography on their own within a limited project and to provide guidance and feedback throughout their research process and discuss and interpret findings in the study group.
Learning by doing is in my opinion an indispensable part of teaching ethnography. Let student on a small scale enter an (accessible) setting of their choice, collect data and analyse it with regard to some feasible research question. Even though students will probably run into some difficulties, the training effect will be tremendous.
I support the advice to let students try it out on a small-enough-scale for it to fit into the course.
