Test students' ability to design a corpus-driven research plan and a detailed annotation schema to analyze pragmatic markers and stance-taking in interdisciplinary academic lectures (comparing STEM vs. humanities). Assess specification of research questions/hypotheses, corpus design and sampling (size, speaker/discipline balance), transcription/preprocessing conventions, operational definitions and hierarchical annotation categories for pragmatic markers and stance expressions, annotation protocols and training materials, inter-annotator agreement metrics, tooling and data formats, analytic/statistical methods for cross-discipline comparison, and ethical considerations (consent, anonymization).
