Anyone on the TL uses a synthesis table for lit review?

Basically organizing ideas across multiple of themes from multiple sources in a spreadsheet

https://case.fiu.edu/writingcenter/online-resources/_assets/synthesis-matrix-2.pdf

https://writingcenter.uagc.edu/synthesis-matrix

How could this be used for design work?🤔

Each cell could represent an example of a certain level of fidelity and modality in graphic design, information design & UI design work which could be used to identify common properties and principles

As you write your review, you will work horizontally in the row belonging to each point discussed. As you combine the information presented in each row, you will begin to see each section of your paper taking shape. Remember, some of the sources may not cover all of the main ideas listed on the left, but that can be useful also. The gaps on your chart could provide clues about the gaps in the current state of knowledge on your topic. CREATING YOUR SYNTHESIS MATRIX It is probably best to begin your chart by labeling the columns both horizontally and vertically. The sample chart below illustrates how to do this. Topic: ______________________________________ Source #1 Source #2 Source #3 Source #4 Main Idea A Main Idea B Label the columns across the top of your chart with the author’s last name or with a few keywords from the title of the work. Then label the sides of the chart with the main ideas that your sources discuss about your topic. As you read each source, make notes in the appropriate column about the information discussed in the work, as shown in the following chart.

Yes, definitely used synthesis tables for lit review.

I’m not a designer, but it seems like designers often prefer to avoid that level of prescriptive structure. Like, they’d prefer to do almost the same thing, but with colored sticky notes, and the flexibility to say different things about different sources.

It is actually "la baba" in Spanish, usually translated as drool. So I could see maybe going with something like "Te Cae La Baba" (you're drooling) as a name for, I dunno, a food truck.

But yeah, that's probably a different Baba.

Hi folks, I know folks mean well when they post information on news events, but PLEASE vet your sources before reposting dramatic articles/etc. you see. If you're not familiar with the publication, DON'T POST IT. Or check on the source...

For example, I recently saw an article posted from the Daily Caller, which is essentially a channel for white supremacist propaganda, interspersed with other normal news.

Great point! A useful resource to vet sources is Wikipedia’s list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

I've been asked to do an online meeting on Friday and this will involve screen sharing. I tend to avoid these things like the plague and have already told them I don't use Zoom or Teams.

Are there anythings I need to be wary of from a privacy point of view?

Boosts welcome!

@mxtthxw

The main thing to be aware of is not having anything on your screen that you don’t want to share. Close everything you don’t need. Keep in mind any notifications that might pop up.

You generally have options to share a window, a program, or your entire screen. Try out the actual software you will be using in advance. Window is most private, but awkward if sharing many windows.

A privacy option is to set up a user account that you only use for videoconferencing.

When is it OK to change the subject in your reply to a post?

@evan

A conversation where you can’t change the subject is called a meeting.

Is there any legal system in the world where inside courtrooms there is an official who is simply there to observe judicial conduct of judges?

Who tracks the quality of their judgements in accordance to the constitutional values and legal standards, to check abuse of authority

In the US there are several civil society court observer groups who do this. This review article discusses several: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/keeping-eye-courts-survey-court-observer-programs

Seeking eggplant recipe ideas, as I have one limp eggplant in the fridge and 8 eggplants growing in hydroponics (which may produce a massive amount of eggplant).

So far my repertoire includes 2 dishes:

  1. Eggplant Parmesan (Italian)
  2. Eggplant in Garlic Sauce (Chinese)

(the family hates eggplant, except me, so we never eat it 🤔 )

@kc2ihx @ai6yr @BakerRL75

Don’t forget ratatouille ! https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/ratatouille-12164

Also eggplant can be stuffed with various other things you enjoy.

I, too, would like to know about the squirrels. My husband has a bird/squirrel feeder attached to his office window. There could be entertainment potential there.

hate having to ask this, but what are our most trusted AI detectors for writing assignments?

JMMaok,
@JMMaok@mastodon.online avatar

@DrTCombs

Have heard absolutely nothing good about any of them. Lots of ethnically biased false positives.

@JMMaok@mastodon.online avatar

@DrTCombs

One option might be a regular Turnitin check for passages that appear elsewhere but aren’t correctly cited. The AI got its text from somewhere.

Also, consider whether you suspect clear violation of a clearly stated policy. Anything fuzzier than that, probably let it go. But if it is clear and egregious, a conversation with the student (with a witness) can be enlightening.

Sorry you’re having to deal with this.

Would the universities of today, like the way they are run today, fully MBAized, recognized Wittgenstein's contribution

"It (Tractatus) was examined in 1929 by Russell and Moore; at the end of the thesis defence, Wittgenstein clapped the two examiners on the shoulder and said, '"Don't worry, I know you'll never understand it."

Wikipedia tells me his "family was at the centre of Vienna's cultural life" and describes his family home as a palace. His father had an "industrial empire."

Thus, I think the MBAs would find a way to make it work.

Oh Columbia is trying to suspend students so that they can say those people are no longer students and can be arrested.

Oh, Fuck Columbia

Visiting cultural art centers in Mumbai feels like a very disorienting experience to me.

Just visited a newly launched cultural art center in mumbai which is designed like a 7 star hotel from inside.

It showcased talented artists showing indian handicrafts but the way the designed the corridors & lobbies felt as if designed to make middle class people feel like they don't belong.

I just felt bit icky by the ostentatious display of that elite hotel like aesthetic for an art center

I’d say we have the full range, from opulence to grungy basements, and everything in between.

Not sure if this makes it better, but that’s a student project, and they are trying to use the school colors. So it’s more likely a lack of experience making charts than anything nefarious.

Last night I opened up YT in a private window, & clicked on an unrelated video to that of the one I had just watched. It was a video on arctic ice melts that turned out to be 100% denialist.

One click & there I was in endless fetid scroll of Jordan Peterson, climate change denial, 'what is woke' explainers, 'lol snowflakes' shorts, Trump propaganda, knife fights, & misogynistic, racist garbage.

Don't tell me Big Tech aren't culpable for the hate out there. They're farming it, on a vast scale.

Admirable op sec. Hard to know who even would be your ‘neighbors’ in that context :-)

A few years back living in an apartment some new neighbors brought a marked increase in gun content :-(
