Week 3 assignment started

I am currently working on the week 3 assignment. I need to prepare an "analytical approach for one of the mock data collection described in one of the proposals." I think this means I need to explain how I would analyze the data collected (rather than how I would go about collecting the data). The paper I found a few days ago will come in handy.

So far, I have a short summary of the proposed research and a brief list of data I would need to collect. I am working on the analytical methods I would use. Work continues.

Assignment 2 completed

I submitted assignment 2 a short while ago. I changed the research questions. There is more focus on linkages between websites.

The paper:

Work continues...

The professor provided good feedback...on apa citations, improvements I could make to the document etc. Not much information or tips for the week 2 paper. I think I need to change something so that I will have a substantial assignment to submit. (I have to work for the grade after all.)

Work continues...

Week 2 assignment

For the week 2 assignment, I need to prepare another mini-proposal using a qualitative method from the week 2 readings. The main method from the readings: case study.
I included the case study method in last week's paper. I am thinking about the best option/approach for this week's paper. I could change the research questions etc.

Assignment 1 submitted

After much editing/refining, I finally finished the paper. Here it is:

Refining the problem

I made lots of progress with the research problem. Coming up with an adequate research problem/question is the difficult part of the assignment. The course focuses on qualitative research so it needs to be a good qualitative research problem/question. I like what I have so far.

Making progress with the problem and paper...

Started writing the paper

My topic for this course is social media. I like social media because the data is easier to get. Most of it is out there (for the taking). I could look at the consumers' use of social media and/or how companies use social media. I am still thinking, deciding...
