You only need to report results and conduct descriptive and inferential statistics for H1 and H2.  You can exclude H3 and H4.  You also do not need to conduct any tests to see that it is okay to use `ANOVAs (e.g., testing the various assumptions that `ANOVAs rely on).  Those who have a background in quantitative methods and statistical analysis are encouraged to work through the analysis for H3 and H4 as a learning opportunity.

Create a paper that contains the write-ups from above.  Submit a paper copy in class and a copy over email (send a PDF as well as the source files, e.g., docx, latex).  You should use [[http://prior.sigchi.org/publications/chipubform/sigchi-paper-format-2016/view | ACM CHI 2016 format]] and style for your writing, which will require you to reformat the sample paper and references above.

#The cleaned up Excel data files for all four dependent variables in [[Attach:ExperimentalAssignmentSPSS.xlsx | SPSS]] and [[Attach:ExperimentalAssignmentJMP.xlsx | JMP]] formats.

1. Observe and collect data for three bulletin boards.  This includes capturing high resolution images of the bulletin boards.  Count the number of postings on each bulletin board and label each post in terms of what type of post it is.  The original study generated post categories organically through an open coding process, however, you will use the following set of categories based on that analysis.  For each bulletin board, count how many postings fit in each category.  The categories are:

* Personal ad
* Cultural
* Social/political/env.
* Recreational
* Health/well-being
* Business
* Fundraiser drive
* Educational
* Administrative
* Maintenance
* Government-related
* Work/employment

2. Observe the setting around the bulletin board including the location, the people around it, and people's activities.  Take observational notes of what you see.

3. Write a short results section for your findings (max one page) where you answer these questions.  Each question should be answered in its own subsection and include a one paragraph answer, plus descriptions of data that provide evidence for your answer.

* What types of postings are made on public bulletin boards?  How many postings were found in each category?
* What makes a posting inviting?  (e.g., what draws your attention to postings?)
* What makes a bulletin board inviting? (e.g., what draws your attention to it and makes it feel like a place where you can post items?)
* What makes an environment inviting for posting on a bulletin board?  (e.g., what type of environment makes you comfortable in making posts on a bulletin board?)

4. Write a short discussion section for your findings where you list out 3 to 5 implications that your results point to for the design of digital bulletin boards.  That is, if a person was going to design a digital bulletin board, what lessons can be drawn from your study to suggest how the digital bulletin board should be designed?  Your discussion section should be no more than 1 page.  For each implication, you should give rationale for choosing it based on your analysis.

5. Include images of the bulletin boards you observed as part of an appendix.

Create a paper that contains the write-ups from above.  Submit a paper copy in class and a copy over email (send a PDF as well as the source files, e.g., docx, latex).  You should use the same paper format / style for your writing as the sample paper above (ACM CHI format).

You have been tasked with conducting an observational study that explores a particular phenomena in everyday society. This particular study uses a design ethnography approach.  You will review the background of the study, including the context and the research problems, the specific data collection methods used, and the analysis procedures to follow.  Then you'll complete the study, albeit in a limited form.
