I just turned in my final project for the fall semester–a look at Social
\nNetwork Analysis adapted as methodology for rhet\/comp.  Hard-line SNA
\nresearchers often turn to mathematical sociology (half-seriously, I liken it to
\ndiscourse analysis, peopled), heavy with formulas as probabilities for
\nactivity\/system\/org-phenomena, structural equivalence, and so on. 
\nBasically, I wanted to sort the more general areas of network studies from SNA,
\ntie in a few definitional pieces and key concepts, stake out the methodological
\nlayers of a few SNA-oriented future projects, get grounded.  Been a good
\nproject for that.  And yes, some relief in its completion.  Before the
\nweekend, I have some grading to pace through; alongside that, leisure reading, a
\nlight read-ahead for the spring, and maybe a few days in Michigan at the end of
\nthe month if Ph. doesn’t have hoops practice.<\/p>\n

I didn’t realize this would turn into another update (updates heaped upon
\nupdates lately).  But it does bring me to something I noticed on a science
\nworkbook laying open on D.’s workspace earlier.  She’s plotting out the finer
\npoints of a science lesson for tomorrow.  The book, it has sets of
\nquestions to go with each of the labs.  Usual stuff.  Except the final
\nquestion for every unit: What are you wondering now?<\/p>\n

What are you wondering now? <\/i> Ought to end all semesters
\n(projects, blog entries, etc.) that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
