It is rumored that Zeke has an extensive DVD collection that he has never once alphabetized. He has aced tests before he even sat down. He once had a bad quiz, just to see how it feels. He is, the world's most interesting TA.

How will you ace quiz #3? Zeke can help you. Actually all of us can help you. Let us start by giving some advice, then an example. First, the advice.

Check out the following image. It shows a bunch of helpful things. First, if you are going to use google docs you need to start rockin with multiple tabs. See the yellow circles at the top?


This image shows what it looks like when we work on the example. Check out how we are working on the document at the SAME TIME! Whoa. Krystal made the doc, Rebecca is working on it, and Ted has it open. Craaazy! How is that possible? Well Krystal followed the instructions on the "how to" document and shared it with the rest of the people in our group. You should do this too.

I have Gmail, this google doc, the google doc list and a bunch of other tabs open at the same time! I know-- I have some serious skills. Not Zeke level skills, but impressive nonetheless.

Once your group leader shares your doc with you and other group members you should upload your image and start documenting the size, # of groups, and common thread of those groups. After you have that done, you should make some commentary about the structure of your graph and how it got that way base on your history of social interaction. The example, linked below, shows the assignment that we, the teaching team, are in the process of completing. That is right! We are doing the assignment too.

I have my part done; of, course. That is how I roll. Zeke will do his when the time is right. Like a boss!!

Boss!

After everyone has their part done, then we will make comparisons. We are going to get super crazy-- and like, use google chat, or even google talk and, get this, discuss what we think is interesting about how our graphs are similar and different, and how they relate to our histories of social interaction.


Tasks:

  1. Upload your image to the same google doc as all the rest of the people in your group.
  2. Type up your # of friends, groups, and detail what the groups are.
  3. Write up a commentary about what is interesting about your graph and your interaction. 4-5 sentences.
  4. Look at the graphs of your fellow group members.
    1. Think about how they tell different stories about the structure of social interaction.
  5. The final version should have a commentary about all the images that focuses on what is interesting that you learn from comparing and contrasting all of them.
    1. We will demonstrate this, and will have it done before class on Monday.
  6. Turn your project in! How? Well that is super easy.
    1. Share your google doc with your TA. The TA whose gmail is listed next to your group.
    2. Cha ching! Done baby.
    3. Did you see how we listed the gmail addresses of all the group members at the top of the doc?
      1. I can't believe how smart that is!
Here is teh link to the example ( a work in progress). Some parts are done as of Friday night, others are in progress. Yet all will be done by Monday.



Cheers!
