The purpose of this assignment is to maintain a line of communication between you and the instructor during a week when significant time should be allocated to research, project development, and/or writing. Your submission, unlike other “assignments,” should not include any work products from your project. It does not need to have a title page or align with APA formatting.
Instead, you are asked to simply respond candidly to a few short questions related to your progress this week and reflect on both the technical progress and personal progress as a researcher and self-directed learner.
This Week
For this week, you are asked to respond to the following questions:
- What is your system for managing your project, and what progress have you made this week?
- Who will be part of your network of support for research, discussions, and advice?
- How are you using the questions from your Matrix to initiate discussions or guide your initial work?
- What questions do you have for me, as the instructor?
