Weekly Update 3

This week I have been continuing my research. I posted a link to my thesis. I started to work on it and it helped me to develop the structure of my research. Reading different articles have been giving me different ideas on how to setup my research, to be honest I'm quite confused. Hopefuly as I continue with my research it would give me a better idea on how to set this up.

This week I found some articles in regards on learning with audio and effective communication. After reading I hope they can help me with the overall structure of my thesis.

Timeline
My plan is to finish my thesis by the end of the Spring quarter. I have completed some of the reseach, but there is still more to be done.

During Winter quarter from Jan to March I would like to complete the following
Pre-thesis and select readers
completing all research
prepare for interviews and surveys
submit all necessary documents for IRB
submit master application proposal
conduct some interviews with higher education students and faculty
prepare first draft
Spring quarter March to June
This is still tentative as I would like to take the spring brake to finish writing the thesis to be able to submit everything for full format review in June 1. Therefore I would need to have everything ready for my first reader in April and for the second reader in May.

Due to work and other duties this may be delayed, but I will like to have most of it done to take the opportunity of taking 699 during the spring quarter.
