Themes?Thick descriptionsUse examples

Categories are not numbers!

Left over's?

Left over questions?

The homework

What are your themes?How did you illustrate with words?Never looked at these this way beforeSo are these how you’ve read them?Think about how this applies

In research?Discourse analysisDocument analysisInterview analysisNot the same in ethnographyNot the same in case study

Ethnography

Living the lifeCan’t do it with your own groupHave to be trusted by the groupA sympathetic outsider’s view on what it feels like to be in that group21 jump streetJane GoodallNomadsDances with wolves

Find the interesting caseExplain why it is the right case

Put the reader in the middle of the caseHow are things occurring?Why are they occurring?What is driving the system?Why are decisions made as they are?What is the inside story?Participant checking

Case Study

Validity

PlausibleReader understandsMakes senseSupported by examplesTransparent(we aren’t trying to generalize)

Correlation is my friend!

Measure of the interaction between 2 or more variablesPearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient r (-1 to 1)R squared = percent of predictable variationThere are stats to give a p valueI don’t do less than 0.7, unless we are doing chicken nuggets

What if you could draw a line?

Y= bX + interceptWhen on same scale and same standard deviation and cross at zero, b=rLook how handy and dangerous

How good is it?

Standard Error of EstimationHow wide is the distribution around the line?Narrow is good, wide is sloppy
