Soc. Sci. 199.2

The following projects can be rated after the comments have been addressed. I may give you a grade before I sign your hard bound but I can withdraw the grades in the University council meeting if there is a problem with your hard bound.

Urban Housing

LGU Adaptive Capacity.

Electoral Violence

RA and Movement Solidarity.

 

The projects below will most likely get an INC and will be settled with me personally as soon as I return to the country. You are advised to prepare a completion form. We will work out having your grades ready before the finalisation of candidates for graduation in the University Council Meeting.

Grades Matter for 199.2, 182 and 193.

This is to inform all graduating students that your grades are delayed for some unavoidable reasons. I did not have a good internet connection in my accommodation in Kolkata, which means that I was not able to download some of your papers for checking and I had a great difficulty accessing my wordpress account to post announcement. For reasons which I would not like to elaborate, I was detained in Kolkata International Airport for a prolonged period and their airport has no free wifi service.

I have already finished checking some of your papers so your grades will be uploaded in a day or two.

 

Soc. Sci. 199.2 Announcement

Congratulations on your presentation. I see that some of you are not yet confident about delivering their topics. Let it be noted, however, that many, if not all, of the questions raised in your presentation were similar to what we already exhaustively discussed during some of our consultations. I would expect to see the revisions raised in the presentation noted in your write-up.

Another matter that I noticed in your presentation is that your prior research portion is nothing but a mere list of sources! You should have organized it in a much more coherent fashion by clustering them to schools of thought, just like what I required you to do for your introduction and for your review write-up.

 

Also, please do not forget to fill-up the evaluation form for our class. Approach Prof. Landoy for the form. As mentioned after the presentation, your bound copy will not be signed unless this is accomplished.

 

For your write-up, especially in the analysis and conclusion part, take note the you should ground whatever you write on the data you gathered as tested against the framework you presented. Do not claim that a relationship exist between your IV and DV if your data does not support so. Rather, explain why the expected hypothesis cannot be confirmed. Most often you would have to return to your framework or methods to explain the absence of your expected relationship.

 

You may discover that your framework may not have covered aspects that you are supposed to cover. Just explain this and note this as a room for improvement for future studies similar to yours. Also, you may have missed gathering this because of the limitations in your methods or because of the nature of your locale. Explain this as well. Note especially that there may be unforeseen factors or variables which intervened in your expected relationship but one which you were not able to explain early on in your methods and framework.

 

What to do next?

 

1. Revisit your presentation, identify the points raised and how you intend to address this in your write-up. In particular, you need to note in which part of your write-up will these issues be tackled. Enumerate them clearly and email it to me not later than Wednesday, March 23, 2011.

 

2. Revise and edit thoroughly even before I return your already submitted drafts.

 

3. I need a second full draft by March 25, Friday. Submit it in one mail as a single word and single pdf file.  Revisions based on the presentation and as outlined in item 1 above should be integrated.

 

4. Since I will be out of the country from March 22 to April 2. I will only be corresponding with you via email and through our blogsite. I expect that you edit and revise your work even if I cannot send feedbacks yet. I am not sure if I will have a good internet connection and time to work on your papers while I am out of the country.

 

5. If we can correspond regularly while  I am outside the country, I expect to receive the ready-for-binding and exact PDF copy (from cover to cover) by March 28, 2011, Monday.

 

6. Those who were not able to present can work on the schedule outlined above. Take note, however, that there is a great difficulty in accomplishing your work at the same pace as those who prepared the first draft in time for the presentation.
