First assignment for Week 11 submitted

I just added a post on mixed methods research (submitted the first assignment for week 11)...

Post:

 

Almost the end of the course!

I received feedback from the professor on the last paper (the quantitative proposal). He had quite a lot of comments/questions! For the final proposal (the signature assignment), I think I will improve upon the last paper - address the comments/questions etc. This means that it will be a quantitative research proposal. It should also fill the 12 - 15 pages.

Making good progress

The paper is about 95% complete at this point. I need to address some of the professor's comments from the last paper (some no longer apply) and look up a few things. Work continues.

Rewrite

I decided to change the research problem description and purpose. I worked on a draft last night. I now need to enter into the document and make edits.

Work continues.

Taking a break...

I am making lots of progress. I will now take a break and continue this work later. I need to think about the right theory to use...

Work continues...

Working on my quantitative research proposal...I will combine compensation and IT.
I am a little tired, but I have to keep going.

Work continues. And in a few short weeks, the course will be finished!
