A New Chapter

8/29/2014

 
Here we are in AI II all together again.  It's hard to believe that the 1st year is behind us.  As we begin our 2nd year in the doctoral program and I look around at all the familiar faces, gone are the looks of shock, horror, and complete bewilderment that shone in AI I.  Now I see nods of understanding, brows furrowed in concentration, and maybe even a few smiles.  Wading knee deep into AI II, it's time to figure out what I want out of this semester.  I looked at the syllabus, the book, and the Sakai site to get an idea of what will be coming at me.  

 My learning outcomes for this semester are to come away with a strong sense and direction of my dissertation topic.  I know from last semester the direction I am heading.  Now I want to solidify the topic and narrow it down to a main question.  I want to understand my research better and know that the research that I am finding is quality information.  I also want to gain a better understanding of qualitative and quantitative research.  I think I want to do qualitative research but I want to understand both sides before making the decision.  I want to come away from this class with a definitive decision on which way I am going.

I am looking forward to this class and being back with this great group of people.

I can say with certainty that we will address all of your learning objectives. It's great to have you in another class.
