If you would like to join the seminar, please contact the local administrator at your university listed above before the official start date. Before joining a team, please complete the pre-work listed below, and present your results in one of the admission block course dates listed below.
You can join any of the projects listed on the projects page.
Before joining a project team, you will have to work through the Happimetrics book manuscript, to familiarize yourself with the algorithms and methods used in this seminar, and do the pre-work listed below.
Pre-Work
Read the "happimetrics" manuscript, and pick a chapter for a short presentation in the workshop.
Complete an online social media analysis on Twitter of your choice with Griffin. You can self-register for a free account on the Griffin Web site.
Complete a virtual mirroring/e-mail analysis, analyzing your own mailbox with Griffin.
Take the personality, ethics, morals, risk taking tests on the Happimeter Web site (FFI, Dospert, Schwartz, Moral, you need to register/login on the Happimeter Website first to be able to take the tests); (this will be needed for later analysis in the virtual mirror). You can compare that with your values computed from your emotional response to provocative videos.
Here are links to the Hillary_Clinton and Enron E-Mail dataset for analyzing it with Griffin to further experiment with email-based social network analysis.
Once you have completed the pre-work, register by email for one of the admission workshops listed below. Only after successfully having completed the admission workshop, will you be able to join a team.
At the admission workshop, a brief overview of the seminar will be given, and you will have to present the results of your Twitter Analysis and Mailbox virtual mirror in 5 to 10 minutes on a few Powerpoint slides, as well as the chosen Happimetrics chapter.
