Proposal: Halfway

The proposal is halfway finished. Or maybe it is 2/3'ds? The main proposal page is done, and 10 out of 20 articles for the lit review. We'll be able to submit it soon and relieve this pressure. It will be fantastic.

Final Project: Finally.

So, our last idea of narrative was scrapped, as I said. In order to graduate on time, we decided to play it safe and replicate another Sociological study. The study were are replicating is: Sex, Lies and Video Games: The Portrayal of Male and Female Characters in Video Game Covers by Melinda C. R. Burgess, Steven Paul Stermer and Stephen R. Burgess.

Instead of looking at Gender, we decided that we want to look at the concept of 'Race.'

We are currently working on a 20 article Literature Review.

I will be updating this Blog more as time goes on.

Project Scrapped

With all our hard work in getting our initial proposal submitted, it was rejected. It's painful, since we approached our professor with the idea before we even started to work on it - and it was approved. Apparently there was mis-communication somewhere. We are currently trying to establish a new project idea in order to graduate on time next semester.
