<![CDATA[tndy402i : RSS Feed]]> Elgg http://conversation.cgu.edu/activity/user/tndy402i/summary/all/all/0 <![CDATA[Herding and Gurus]]> http://conversation.cgu.edu/tndy402i/weblog/6688.html http://conversation.cgu.edu/tndy402i/weblog/6688.html Nov 30, 2008 - 10:35pm Responding to a question from Jackie, I found a paper that attempts to model "rational" imitation in social networks.  It's fairly mathematical but you might find it interesting if you just read for the general ideas.  

]]> <![CDATA[Final assignment specifics (same as given in class)]]> http://conversation.cgu.edu/tndy402i/weblog/6683.html http://conversation.cgu.edu/tndy402i/weblog/6683.html Nov 30, 2008 - 1:57pm Here's a restatement in print of the final assignment requirements (after the presentations), in response to questions:

When do you want us to hand in the written portion of the group presentation?

The answer from the syllabus is still correct: "Final grant proposals are due no later than Monday, 22 December." 

I will grade these over the holidays and if you wish return the papers with comments. 

I also need to know if anyone wants to be pass-fail by December 22.  If I don't hear otherwise from you, I will give you a grade.  If you want to be pass-fail please email me to make sure I get the message and I will confirm. 

We are also unclear on what needs to be turned in to you as the written portion.

This was not in the syllabus and while I've tried to describe it clearly in class, I apologize for not having provided this information in written form.  Here's what I want:

  • A project description.  This should be no more than ten pages, not including any bibliography, which can be as long as you like.  The project description should provide a view of the whole research project: What problems it is intended to solve, the methods to be used, resources required, how it is necessarily transdisciplinary, etc.  This will necessarily be a high-level view because the specific activities will depend on what grants you get. 
  • Three or four LOIs (Letters Of Intent) summarizing specific grantable sub-projects.  Each LOI is two to three pages long.  These letters should be written to specific granting agencies, ideally but not necessarily in response to specific RFPs (Request For Proposal).  (It doesn't matter if the RFPs are expired.)  The LOIs should describe the intended activity and results, the use of the grant money, and how the proposed work contributes to the large project defined in the project description.  These sub-projects can be done by one or multiple people, and can be within a single discipline or can involve multiple disciplines. 

 

Feel free to ask questions in the comments.  If you want to email me a question for whatever reason that's fine.  I may "sanitize" your question to remove any personal details and also answer it on the blog if it is potentially relevant to more than one student or team.

Here is the proposal I mentioned a few weeks ago to put clock gene information into Wikipedia. 

Also I should have blogged that I did put up my most recent presentation as promised.

  • Schedule the group presentations -- for the next two classes. 
  • I need to know who's taking the course for a grade, and who's taking it pass/fail.  I believe only students who are taking the course to satisfy the Transdisciplinary requirement can take it pass/fail.

The eleven web pages listed here (and the links on them), from five grantmaking organizations and a grant information clearinghouse, are examples of the online information posted by larger private and public funding agencies in the United States.  A few minutes reading of each page (and then, at one's option, any links that happen to look interesting to you) will add a lot of color and texture to the introductory sketch of grantwriting that I'll be offering on 10/21.

Here is an interesting article on medieval book production that relates to my presentation:

Take a look at the oldest Greek book to survive called the Codex Sinaiticus from the 4th c. AD. It contains the earliest complete Christian New Testament.

Brigitte Garney provided two chapters of Forbidden Best-Sellers of Pre-Revolutionary France as background readings.  She gave us the readings long ago, but we had problems scanning and I had problems getting them on the site.  Finally they are here:  Chapter 9 and Chapter 10
