3.7 Short analysis project

We spent today's class tying up loose ends so you are ready to work on your short analysis project.
1.We talked through the list of language features you might want to look at as you work on the language in your data set.
2. We looked at the assignment sheet for the short analysis project
3. And we talked about how you might want to choose a data set for "practice" on your short anlysis project => the idea is to choose a data set that is similar to the data you will be analyzing for your research project. One purpose of this project is for you to PRACTICE analysis language data (and get some feedback on how to do it better), so you will have that part down for your research project.

NOTE: If you are doing the interview transcripts,  unless you are going to make a point that is VERY different from what we already discussed with respect to the Chat room transcript, I strongly suggest that you choose a different transcript.
For next class:
Blog 13 (I fixued this - it was 14 but should be 13): develop writing for your short analysis project. This should include:
  1. your research question
  2. your analysis of your data
  3. what every writing you have developed to discuss that patterns you see in your data that provide an "answer" or ideas about your research question.
If you want written feedback on your "draft" => send me an email by Saturday, March 16 telling my your work is posted on your blog.
On Tuesday, March 19 we will workshop what you have written so far, and you will schedule conferences (if you want to) on what to do next.
Have a great break!
