New mentor Dr. S + making progress November 21, 2009

Midstream in RSH9102B, I have been assigned a new mentor. All of a sudden, Dr. M is not listed as my professor - now I have Dr. S. I was given no explanation as to the reason for the change. I had turned in assignment #6 and waited patiently for six days for it to be graded. I checked on Friday, and saw it posted as graded under Dr. M, but Dr. S was listed as my professor on my learner page. I checked my regular email and found a note from the registrar advising me of the change. I found Dr. S’s published dissertation, which I downloaded and will add to my reading list.

I turned in the 7th assignment “Design a Research Study Plan” early this morning after final proofreading. I worked on and finished activity #8 Experimental Research, as well as activity #9 Exploratory Research. The 10th paper is Mixed Methods Research, which departs from the read-and-answer-questions format of #8 and #9. My mind is pretty tired right now so I won’t start on #10, which involves discussing the context of when mixed methods research is appropriate. Right now, the only thing I can see that is appropriate is a cold beer.

Or two.
