Making Progress

Well I have re-written the introduction to my paper and have completed and turned in my IRB. I just today received the final part of it that I had been waiting for and plan to turn in a hard copy of it tomorrow meaning that in the next 2 to 3 weeks I hope to get approval and move forward with my research. I will have about 3 weeks I believe in which to get as many surveys as possible completed and then about two and a half weeks to analyze and record the information in my paper. That will all be while I am finishing up with my three other classes and preparing to graduate. Little sleep, lots of caffeine and adrenaline will get me through. Keep an eye out for updates, I should be informing you of my progress a little more frequently soon.

As always thanks for looking in on me!

Institutional Review Board (IRB)

My IRB application is almost complete and I will be ready to submit it by the beginning of next week hopefully. I thought that I would post my paper on here as soon as I get my ap in for the perusal of any readers. This entire process is really interesting to me, I really like doing research and I am pretty good at writing papers, at least the grades I've received on every research paper I have written in college has received an A or B with one exception and it got a C, but we won't talk about that because I think I was robbed!!! Any how any readers comments about this as I go would not only be appreciated but welcomed and helpful. Thanks!
