Today we talked through your research plans. Those of you who talked through your plans in class should post your revised proposals (I will be sending each of you some suggestions for references). Those of you who have not yet talked through your plans - make sure to schedule a conference so you are ready to begin observing.
On Wednesday I am hoping one or more of you will have data and we can begin work on "coding" - identifying and classifying categories for actors, actions, interactions and context within your sessions.
The syllabus states that you are going to write a formal reflective paper - but I would rather you focused your energies on your research project. I will schedule the time for you to do reflective writing in class.
Assignments for Monday are to post your revised research plan on your blog, and to make sure you are set to begin data collection and tutoring. It would be best if you could schedule most of your sessions before the beginning of December - which is sometime in the next two weeks. You may observe each other's sessions. Work with Angela and Ryan to make contacts for observations.
I will be available in CAS on Monday for conferences on your projects. Have a good weekend.
