Today’s Plan:
- Norming Job Ads
- Selecting Jobs from the Corpus
- Homework
Norming Job Ads
The first 30+ minutes of class today will be dedicated to comparing the codes for the packet of jobs I distributed on Friday. You will work in groups of three and then we will compare group ratings.
Also, classify each job. Is it:
- Writing
- Editing
- Social Media
- Marketing
- Sales
- Design
Here is a link to the coding sheet.
Job Ad Corpus
The next task is for you to determine what kinds of jobs you will focus on for Project One. In preparation for Wednesday’s class, you should go through the job corpus (note: corpus is the term for the body of texts you will analyze in a qualitative research project) and identify *10* initial jobs you would like to code.
Homework
Go through the corpus and identify 10 jobs you would like to code For simplicity, you can just input a numbered list (1-10) to the Canvas discussion forum “First Ten Jobs.”
Print and code 3 of those jobs in preparation for Wednesday’s class.
Wednesday we will meet in the computer lab and input your codes into our collective spreadsheet.
Also: a reminder that the forum post on Herrick’s “Overview of Rhetoric” is due Thursday at midnight; we will discuss Herrick and the Miller article on Friday (if you did not complete the Miller discussion post, this is an opportunity to make that up).
