Please complete ONE of the following two assignments, whichever you think is more helpful to you and your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using your own dataset or this sample dataset<\/a>, create a web-based map that includes points and tooltips. Submit the link to your map via BruinLearn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you use the sample dataset, you may have to do some data-wrangling to get the data ready for geocoding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Select and read a work of short fiction from\u00a0here<\/a>.* Make a list of characters. These are your nodes. Decide what constitutes a connection (e.g., characters appear together in a scene, characters speak to each other, etc.) and build an edge list. (Refer to Step 1 of\u00a0this tutorial<\/a> if you\u2019re still hazy on what an edge list is, and see below for a quick example.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use your edge list to build a simple network graph with Cytoscape or Flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a paragraph or two, reflect on the following: What, if anything, does this network graph illuminate about the characters\u2019 connections? What are its limitations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n (If you’d like, you can record a video rather than write the text. You should be able to upload a video to this assignment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Via the BruinLearn assignment<\/a>, submit a screenshot of or link to your network graph and your reflection on it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n *Some stories are free to read and some aren\u2019t. Click around until you find something you like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s assume I decide that a character addressing another character constitutes a connection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daphne to Fred: You sure picked a spooky day to go boating, Freddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fred to Daphne: Well, it didn’t start out that way. What could’ve happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Velma to Fred: It’s very simple. When the barometric pressure dropped, and the warm offshore air came in contact with an inland cold front, we ran into some unnavigable weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fred to Velma: You’re right, Velma. Whatever you said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Velma to Fred: I said, we’re lost in the fog.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n2. Network a short story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
