I actually did it at the beginning of the year and then again towards the end so we could talk about network evolution. Many of the networks were too sparse at the beginning! But the different ways of defining friendship also evolve differently which is fun.

I used to have my students take a survey to build a class friendship network where I had different types of questions that essentially defined friendship in different ways so they could see how that biases network structure. That said- you have to check with your university to see if you need an IRB

Definitely the tree on fire. 😂

I really needed to hear that other universities are equally frustrating. So thank you. (Although I am sorry for your frustration!) I just found out we can no longer use smtp from off campus. I guess I no longer send email from home?

Would love to be added to this!
