All remaining course readings are now posted, and the schedule has been updated on BB and mirrored on this blog. You'll also find submission links for the remaining two assignments on BB. Last night's lecture slides (for weeks 6 and 7) are also posted in the usual place.
March is usually a pretty challenging month, with lots of assignments ahead as we look down the home stretch to the end of term. In that spirit, let's make things a little easier for ourselves by making our blog topic for week 8 is wide open. You could bring up a topic that's been developing in your mind during the course so far, ask your fellow bloggers a discussion-starting question, respond to last night's discussions of surveys and ethnography, test out an idea from your own research proposal assignment, or just roll the dice on a random topic. Just remember that it should be related somehow to the general topic of research and research methods, given that Karen and I will need to take its relevance into account when grading.
