'''Required Readings:'''

* BSOC, Chapter 5, pg 179-223

* Case 1: The citizen science community [[:wikipedia:Zooniverse|Zooniverse]]:
** [Case] Visit [https://www.zooniverse.org/ Zooniverse] and create an account. Then visit the [https://www.zooniverse.org/projects Zooniverse project website] and pick a project that interests you. I worked on [https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/sassydumbledore/chimp-and-see Chimp&See] but there are a bunch of projects (scroll down to see more) on a lot of different types of things. Spend 10-15 minutes on the site figure out how it works and make sure you both do a few tasks and look at the "Talk" or discussion and commenting features of each site.
