After a good few weeks of research, the team has started to discuss the details about the nature and qualities we would like in a metric to have. Dr. Zheng has given us more papers to read and discuss. These take a more modern approach to the analysis of the data on top of traditional statistical methods.
The students have expressed much interest in the approaches. We will be meeting again this Friday to discuss the new papers and hopefully the direction for the rest of the semester.

Meeting Minutes
Last week, the group got together to discuss the project progress and details. The students were given papers to read. At this step we are working to think about aggregation of existing reputation metrics as well as thinking about the development of our own metrics that can be put into practice.
Our goal is to meet every two weeks as we discuss research and implementation.

IRB approval
Hello,
Today we received the approval of the New Mexico Tech IRB to proceed with the user study. Tomorrow we will have a meeting to discuss an appropriate location; hopefully we will have many participants, as this week is "dead week", when everything is due and such. I will update tomorrow on the proceedings of the meeting.

All the Updates
Hello,
Last week the Student Research Symposium occurred in our school, where students presented their research. Danny and I presented a poster for our project; it was my first time presenting. I enjoyed it!
Nonetheless, after a week of filling out the correct forms and typing the process of the user study PLUS the affiliated papers, we got to submit our application to the IRB. Hopefully they will be able to review the documents and reply to us soon, as the semester is coming to a close. For now, Danny and I will be eagerly waiting for the approval.
Until then.

Finishing Touches
Hey everyone!
As we come to the close of March, we have been coming closer and closer to the end of the design phase of the user study. We have come up with and have almost finalized the entire user study. As predicted earlier we have not come up with a study that was going to take too much time as a convenience to the users who will participate in the study. The convenience to the users will not however come at a cost to the information that will be gathered by the study.
Keeping the study concise we believed will keep the users focused and answering the best way that reflects the way they truly feel versus merely answering question to get the study over with. Finalizing the user study and the methods to be used to conduct the study will not allow us to submit our IRB form in order to receive permission to conduct the user study since we will be using human participants.
Our next steps from now are to finish up the study in the next few days, submit the IRB for approval by our institution, and then move on to actually conducting the study.
Until next time.
