SIS-206, final paper outline

ptj — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:51:17 +0000

Here are the four pieces of your final paper, as discussed in class today:

1) scholarly literature you’re debating/engaging with;

2) research question and methodological proposal for answering it;

3) gather some information…start doing the project;

4) tell me what else needs to be done!

SIS-206, lecture ten

The tenth, and final, lecture for SIS-206, Summer 2008. Topic: “Choosing a Research Methodology, or, PTJ’s sermon on social science as a vocation.”

This is a shorter one than usual.

SIS-206, lecture nine

ptj — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 20:18:41 +0000

Here’s the ninth lecture from SIS-206, Summer 2008. Topic: “Monistic Causation II: Discourse Analysis.” Due to a technical glitch, this is just the slides — no audio recorded, even though I delivered the lecture live in the classroom. Oh well — if you weren’t there, you missed my witty banter.

Pay special attention to the last slide, which gives the four things I’d like to see in the monistic causation research proposal due next week.
