Post a link to your paper and commence in peer review. Each student will be evaluated in terms of his or her contribution to peer review. Collectively, the group will be evaluated on two criteria:
A. the quality of the titles and abstracts submitted: 1st place 5 points; 2nd place 4 points; 3rd place 3 points; 4th place 2 points; 5th place 1 point
B. the quality of the peer reviews completed: 1st place 15 points; 2nd place 10 points; 3rd place 8 points; 4th place 4 points; 5th place 2 points
How to post a link to your paper.
1. Log into your Google account or another account that allows for cloud storage.
2. Click on Drive. (It should be in a menu near the top left corner)
3. Click on New / File Upload
4. Pick your ethnography paper and upload it
5. click share
6. click advanced
7. click 'change'
8. move it to 'anyone with link'
9. click save
10. copy the URL and paste it to this board
Above your link, you are to give your paper a title and create an abstract. Following the abstract, you should detail some of your concerns with your paper as it currently stands. Give plenty of details so as to help your group do a better job with your review. Make sure your abstract is distinctly separated from your concerns.
There is a peer review sheet available to help you review the work of your peers, but you don't have to use this peer review handout. This peer review will count for more than 20% of your overall participation grade for the course, so this is a great opportunity to shine at the end. To put it into context: as of now, there are 135 points currently available for participation. This assignment is worth 40 participation points. I am going to carefully read all of the feedback in this forum to evaluate the quality of the peer review. The team that scores the highest average will earn 1st place, second highest will get second place, and so on.
The best feedback will be specific and will be tailored to help the writer improve his or her draft.
May the best team win.

DeleteThe Frat Site
In my paper i used the website total frat move in the greek life discourse community. I screen shotted the wall of all postings for two days straight and asked someone on the site what they thought of the website and how they have gained popularity.
The main concern i have is some grammar issues and also adding more meat and more open-ended questions to really complete the task. I feel i need a lot more detail and concrete evidence.
it is my second link btw the first doesn't work. it is going to say that you need to download mine since it is written on pages so all u got to do is hit download.

DeleteYou have a good start to your paper, but it does need some work. It didn’t seem like there was a lot of evidence and I wasn’t sure what you were actually researching other than the community itself. There should be more evidence about the people of the community and how they interact with each other on the site or on the social media dealing directly with the site. It would also be very beneficial for you to add a paragraph describing what you are researching within the community and the method behind how you will be researching this. One topic you could possibly further research is why its mostly about fun and why there isn’t a lot of serious information on the site. Definitely adding more evidence will help strength your paper. There were a lot of grammatical errors throughout, but reading your paper more carefully and making the revisions can fix these. It was an interesting paper to read because not everyone is familiar with the Greek life community. This is a good paper so far, but it has a lot of room for improvement.

ReplyDeleteTraveling made easy
ReplyDeleteIn my ethnography paper I decided to research the traveling discourse community through a website called Travbuddy.com. In my paper I discuss the website and all the key features it has to offer. I present the question, what makes a “topic”(question or statement) get more views then other “topics”?, and sought to answer it using the website for 2 weeks and observing the interactions between the members of the site. The results were not what I expected.
Some concerns I have for my paper are that I don't explain the key features of the website thoroughly, or I explain it in a confusing way. Also, I'm concerned I did not present enough evidence for the results that I found to answer the question.

DeleteYour paper is very well written. I thought you did a great job explaining the features and how the website works. I do think there is room for improvement with your evidence. You include a couple direct quotes about how people feel about the website, but including questions and replies found on the website could strengthen your paper. Adding direct quotes questions from the ‘travel chat’ would really help the reader to understand all the different types of topics being discussed. Providing examples of the actual most viewed topics and least viewed would not hurt your paper either; I feel as if doing this it would make it even more interesting. In your conclusion, it may be helpful to further conclude your results and wrap up how this site could be beneficial to avid travellers. There were a few grammatical errors that can easily be fixed by rereading and making revisions. I found your paper very interesting to read because I love to travel and want to travel as much as I can when I am older. Your paper made me want to explore the site. Overall, I thought it was a great paper that can be made even better with more evidence.
DeleteHow to Survive on NASIOC
ReplyDeleteI did my paper on the Subaru forums called NASIOC. I discussed how the members communicated on the site as well as why they do it. I then went into greater detail about when and why conflicts between useres arise. From there i was able to conduct my research on how to get along on NASIOC.
My main concern is that my paper is not properly formatted as i did not have my research idea until about halfway through the paper. I am afraid this makes my paper not flow well. I also am not too happy with how i ended my paper and any better suggestions on how to wrap things up would be greatly appreciated

DeleteAnonymity: Good or Bad?
ReplyDeleteThe discourse community that I chose to research is the app Yik Yak. In my research, I wanted to discover how the users of Yik Yak feel about the factor of anonymity and how users react and respond to certain yaks. This was done by asking certain questions and recording the amount of upvotes and replies yaks of specific topics received.
Some concerns I have about my paper is how to end my paper. I have included a discussion section, but I am not entirely sure what all to include in this section and how to conclude the paper. I am also curious if my methodology needs to be more in depth. I currently do not have all my results because I am still researching the community.

DeleteTime to be Visible
ReplyDeleteThe discourse community I chose to research was a website called Invisible Illness Week. This website is about invisible chronicle illness which are illnesses you cant see externally like depression or migraines. In my paper i discussed the history of the website as well as how communication and awareness are spread.
My main concern about my paper is that I didn't format it properly and my research is mainly about the history and how this website uses communication to spread awareness; however I don't think i made that clear enough in my paper. My other concern is my lack of evidence.

DeleteThe paper is written well. You have a good layout so far, but I feel as if you should maybe include a methodology section and a result section. It didn’t seem like you included much about the method or the results. You do a great job explaining the website, the idea behind the website, and what an invisible illness is, but it didn’t seem like you really researched the people of the community. Instead it seemed as if you researched what the actual community was about more than how the people interact with one another and how they participate on the website. There is a lot of evidence about the site, but there definitely needs to be more evidence about the people. Also, adding direct quotes from people on the site would really help strengthen your paper and whatever results you find. I suggest trying to dig deeper into the people of the community to gain this evidence. There were also quite a few grammatical errors, but rereading it and making revisions can fix those. This was an interesting topic to read about though because I don’t feel like a lot of people know about or understand invisible illnesses. Overall, I thought this was a good paper, but it could easily be turned into a great paper. Just try to include more evidence of the people and fixing the grammatical errors.
