Fulfilling Fifth Week
This week, most of us were recovering from the stress of Mini University.
We made major progress on our security certificate qualitative data coding. We had a meeting to define second order codes. We came up with a variety of categories that could be used to sort the survey responses by content. These categories can be statistically analyzed to find interesting patterns.
We did the categorizing of the data separately and met to hash out which categories we thought each piece of data fit so that we would have a consensus.
For the STEM class, we had two guest speakers, who talked about their research in academics and in a for-profit company. Afterwards, we had to analyze a paper called "Polyoxygenated cyclohexene derivatives from Monanthotaxis." It was very difficult because I don't know much about complex plant science analysis methodologies. Still, after several readings, I had a firmer understanding on the main ideas.
We also started a reading group in our lab. We read "Password strength: an empirical analysis" by Matteo Dell'Amico. Jacob led a discussion on why people don't create better passwords and how to create better passwords.
