Use CCLE to access readings (that aren\u2019t linked from the website), to submit assignments, listen to lecture podcasts, and to take the final. For everything else, use the class website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We, your instructors, need to spend our energy preparing for class and helping you to succeed. Deducing the truth or falsehood of an excuse is not an appropriate role for an instructor and disrupts our teaching schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The no-late-work policy emphatically includes all assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As long as you keep up with the readings and assignments, you should be totally fine. We\u2019ve designed this class so that people with different technical skill levels can slot in at a place that\u2019s comfortable for them. We don\u2019t care where you start; just how much progress you make! If you\u2019re doing the work but still finding yourself struggling, it\u2019s important that you let us know. We\u2019ll sit with you for as long as you need us to in order to help you get it. We really want you to succeed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m not going to lie: there may be moments where you find yourself sitting through information you\u2019ve already heard. But to this I\u2019d say four things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think hard about number 4. Is that the kind of person you are? If not, that is totally fine, but this might not be the right class for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s true, in previous courses, teams have selected their own topics. This was great in a lot of ways, but we\u2019ve changed the assignment over time, and this course is the largest it has ever been. Most significantly, you\u2019re working intensively with a humanities dataset. It\u2019s not easy to find these datasets, and once you do find them, it\u2019s not easy to get them into the right shape for manipulating. Since we only have 10 weeks, and I want you to be able to do meaningful research, I\u2019ve pre-selected the data sets for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, you can petition to use a specific data set<\/strong> that you have found. If you and your team make a convincing case for using this data set and your ability to work with it, your petition will be approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, I think it\u2019s also just really valuable to know that\u00a0anything<\/em>\u00a0can be interesting if you research it carefully and immerse yourself in it. You are UCLA students; you can learn about anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, it\u2019s true, in the past, we\u2019ve allowed students to form their own groups. And we\u00a0do<\/em>\u00a0want you to enjoy working with your fellow group members. But it\u2019s even more important that everyone in the group develops his or her skills. We\u2019ve observed that when group members have marked differences in technical skills, then the more technically adept team\u00a0members will naturally take on more technical\u00a0responsibility. It\u2019s just faster and more efficient that way. But we want all team members to push each other to learn more. So we\u2019re attempting to form groups of similar skill levels. Don\u2019t worry about comparing yourself to your classmates. Everybody starts somewhere, and everybody\u2019s here to learn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out this list of resources<\/strong><\/a> I put together. Let me know if you find other journals and websites that are helpful, and I’ll add them to the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes! Here’s a list of helpful books, workbooks, research guides, and academic writing how-to guides<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any student who has difficulty affording groceries or accessing sufficient food to eat every day, or who lacks a safe and stable place to live, and believes this may affect their performance in the course, is urged to contact the Consultation & Response Team at CRTeam@ucla.edu<\/a>\u00a0for support. Furthermore, please notify the professor if you are comfortable in doing so. This will enable her to provide any resources that she may possess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When do I use CCLE, and when do I use the class website?

Where can I find more information on DH projects, research, and models for my own project?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Are there additional resources that could help me with my research?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
What do I do if my basic needs aren’t being met?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
