communication research clas* media placement as*ignment, part 2: doing data entry and creating a data legend. it is a follow up to a post i published in january titled “here’s my communication research clas* as*ignment on an*lyzing media docu*ent) notes at the bottom of the docu*ent that additional work will be as*igned the following day. but, i never discuss what that entails in the blog post.  i apologize to everyone who read that post because, in that sense, it was incomplete in terms of explaining the a much-delayed follow up post, turning that initial post into a two-part series. so, if you haven’t read the first post in this series, i encourage you to go back and do so. if you just want to know about teaching students to do data entry from coded data and to create data legends, then read on my friend! i provide an as*ignment where students do*nload a data set of media articles using the meltw*ter social intelligence software first post). they are then told to do all of the coding at home, dividing up the articles to code as evenly as possible among their on the second day of clas*, students come back with the coding sheet coded for the number of articles they needed to code. i instruct the students to do*nload the coding sheet, copy it onto a new page in their docu*ent for the total number of articles they need to code and code them by highlighting the answers on the coding sheet. for example, a student who needed to code 30 articles would return with a digital copy of an ms word docu*ent with 30 pages, each page containing a completed coding sheet. all good right? they just need to get their coded data into something that spss can read… because that always goes smoothly!
