Editing CommunityData:Ecology Qualitative Group

This page is for project management for our qualitative investigation into ecological relationships between subreddits. It tracks assignments and adjendas for the weekly group meeting.

Our weekly meeting this quarter is on Fridays from 10:00am to 11:30am. Each week this quarter we will get together to report on our work from the previous week, think together, and plan work we will do the next week.

== Week of Monday Nov 16 ==

Assignments for Friday’s meeting:

# Read Chapter 1 of ''Constructing Grounded Theory'' by Kathy Charmaz.
# Watch Nate’s lecture on the ecology of online communities.
# Spend time exploring Nate’s Reddit clustering visualizations based on term and author similarity.

== Weeks from Nov. 23 - Dec 4th ==
We'll prepare this week by reading from Constructing Grounded Theory, and make accounts on [[CommunityData:Taguette]], the qualitative data analysis (QDA) software we'll be using.  Next week, we'll get started coding in Taguette using a sample data set that I'm building this week.

So, by Monday the 29th we should:

1. Read Constructing Grounded Theory, chapters 2,5, and 6
2. Create an account on Taguette following my instructions below. This will let me add you to our project.

I'll send another email when the first dataset is ready for us to code.  We should all finish coding by 5pm on Thursday December 3rd.  This will give me some time to run some analysis before our meeting on Friday.
