Today’s Plan:
- Check In
- Inputting Codes to Google Docs
- Inputting Codes to Our Collective Spreadsheet
- Reviewing Codes
- For Next Class
Check In
Just want to see how everyone is doing.
Inputting Codes to Google Docs
I didn’t clarify this last class–so don’t worry if you haven’t done this already. You should be coding your job ads in Google Docs, selecting the relevant text and then inserting the code as a comment (Insert > Comment).
Here is a link to the corpus / google docs.
Inputting Codes to Our Collective Spreadsheet
After you have inputted the codes into the Google Doc, you should add them to our collective spreadsheet. And be sure to add your initials in the “submitted by” column.
Here’s a link to the spreadsheet.
I would also like you to include a link from the spreadsheet to the job ad google doc.
Instructions on how to link from the spreadsheet to a specific job ad:
- BEFORE you submit your codes, you need to make a link to the job ad you will code. And you need to insert your codes into that document as comments.
- To create a link, open the job ad. Click on it from inside the 2020 folder; then click “Open with Google Docs,” found at the top of the black document preview screen.
- When the document opens, look in the top-right corner and you will see the blue “SHARE” button. Click that button.
- A dialogue box will open. Click get shareable link. MAKE SURE THE LINK IS SET SO THAT “ANYONE WITH THE LINK CAN EDIT. Copy that link.
- Now return to the Google Sheet. Select the title of the job ad (you can either click on the cell or triple click the cell–watch me). Once the cell or text is selected, press the chain link icon (or press CTRL or OPEN APPLE + K). Paste the link in and hit Apply. Presto, chango, welcome to the 21st century.
Reviewing Codes
With our time remaining today, I would like to begin reviewing codes. Identify a job ad in the collective spreadsheet with codes. Locate that google doc in the corpus. Read and code the job ad, checking whether you agree with the codes already in the document and keeping track of any new codes you identify.
Steps:
- First, examine codes that are already present on the ad. If you agree with those codes, do nothing. If you disagree with a code, then change the TEXT COLOR to ORANGE. Include a comment as a response to the original indicating why you question the code.
- Second, add any codes that you recorded that the original submitter did not. CHANGE the TEXT HIGHLIGHT to ORANGE.
- If, after these two steps, there is ANY orange in the document, then go back to the spreadsheet. Input your initials in the “reviewer” column. Then, select the row #. Once the row is selected, set the text color to orange. If you made zero comments / color changes in the job ad, then select the entire row in the spreadsheet and change the color to green.
- Make sure you include your initials in the “reviewed” column
For Next Class
By next Wednesday, I will ask you to code 20 total jobs.
