This document provides an overview of topics to be covered for a project including progress reports, presentations, the peer review process, and analyzing data. It also offers advice on finding time and space for writing, reading and rereading notes, identifying themes, coding methods, and how knowledge can change rhetorical analysis.

1. Project Portfolios
• Progress Report part 2?
• Posters or presentations?
• Going over the peer review process
• PS: One slight schedule change

2. Blakeslee & Fleischer
• They are assuming you are well into your
project here....
• When to analyze data-- a little before,
mostly after
• Contradictions in research are good-- or
be careful about telling yourself too good
of a story with your research
• Embrace the “murkiness” (Hubbard and
Power quote)

3. Blakeslee & Fleischer
• Finding Time and Space (This is where they
talk about the space and time of writing)
• Beyond “touching it” every day?
• Reading and rereading
• Identifying themes (and the children’s
literacy example here)

4. Blakeslee & Fleischer
• Raw notes versus cooked notes (Hubbard
and Power quote)
• Advice on coding (what it is, how to do it,
etc.)

5. Brenda, Emily, and Jeff on
Content/Rhetorical Analysis

6. Casper, “In Praise of Carbon, In
Praise of Science”
• This was the basis of Casper’s MA project
here at EMU
• “Epideictic” is “praise or blame” in rhetoric
• “Statement Types” explains how Casper
analyzes these speeches
• Also speaks to the way that knowledge
changes rhetoric (conclusions)
