Considering the Short Analysis project - Blog 12




I think I would like to analyze Data Set 4, the teacher comments. I think it will be interesting to take this topic in a different direction than has already been done, and it also seems best given that there’s more variety of material to go off of. (Shaggy dog stories were fun, but may start to feel like beating a dead horse)
The question our group considered was what teacher comments can show us about their grading style as well as their personal style as a professor. We wanted to see what the professor considers most important in a paper as shown through their comments.
To expand on this further, I might as more about the professor’s personality.  Is it possible to draw inferences on things like how important they consider praise to be, how clear-spoken they are, and what their goals are for their students?  Can I get an idea of what they think of writing and writers and education in general?
