This repo contains the new module for Prof. Amy Tick's XRHETOR-R1A class for Fall 2016 and Fall 2017.

The Spring 2018 materials were created by Alec Kan, Shalini Kunapuli, and William McEachen. These modules connect word use in political speeches to the Moral Foundations Theory. Statistical inferences and visualizations from this data help students better understand rhetoric differences between conservative and liberal presidential candidates. This module is meant to take 3 class periods for students with minimal to no coding experience.
