Popis: In this article, the author shares a confessional tale of her experience reshaping a qualitative research methodology class taught in a Big Tent environment to be more meaningful to the diverse students in the class, who represented numerous academic disciplines. She first describes the epistemological and methodological orientation of the original class, Take I, along with its strengths and limitations. She then reflects on an Intermission that reshaped her understanding of teaching during a sabbatical when she became a student for the first time in many years. Next, she discusses the changes she made to the class, Take II, which builds on culturally relevant pedagogy, aims to represent various student disciplines in the curricula, and takes into consideration the scaffolding necessary to teach novice learners. These changes seemed to improve the class for both students and instructor.
