Plans for our end-of-semester work have changed, so I’ll use today to go over our new final project. We’ll take time to answer questions and discuss next steps.

As an introduction to grounded theory, we’ll look briefly at Charmaz’s text, your next reading assignment, and discuss the example of coding that Charmaz models. We’ll then collaboratively code sample text in class.

I’ll end class by asking for a volunteer who would be willing to offer one blog post for us to collaboratively code next class.

HOMEWORK

READ Chapter 5 from Charmaz’s book Constructing Grounded Theory (available on Bb).
