Operationalize This! by James Cook https://padlet.com/James_Cook/wxezix0kv1ry Zog, Xana and Blzp are aliens with eyes, teeth and other features. Pick a variable, then tell me how you would operationalize it in the study of these three aliens. Share your operationalization of a variable by clicking on the blue space and typing in your thoughts.

In other words, I would count the number of eyes that each alien has and record that number in my data matrix.

So, in this case, each monster would have one dominant color.]]> 2016-11-14 18:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/James_Cook/wxezix0kv1ry/wish/137481932 Operationalization of # of teeth https://padlet.com/James_Cook/wxezix0kv1ry/wish/137958550 To operationalize the variable - # of teeth, First I would determine the space representing the mouth on each alien, then count the objects within that space that could be identified as teeth and record the number in the data matrix.  ~Cass

Marking down on the matrix each individual aliens symmetric shape or not.

Duplicate letters would be counted individually. However, punctuation within the name would not count as a letter. - Michelle https://padlet.com/James_Cook/wxezix0kv1ry/wish/138520178 2016-11-17 18:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/James_Cook/wxezix0kv1ry/wish/138520178 Operationalization of Lobes https://padlet.com/James_Cook/wxezix0kv1ry/wish/138867969 Fir]]> 2016-11-19 11:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/James_Cook/wxezix0kv1ry/wish/138867969 Operationalization of Lobes https://padlet.com/James_Cook/wxezix0kv1ry/wish/138867970 First I would use nominal value by recording in my findings the number of lobes on each monster for the operationalize variable of # of lobes. -Amy S
