Unfortunately I got bogged down in EER500, the reading, the research question, the refining of the research question and the re-refining of the research question that I forgot to add to my blog. Whoops!! Now that Assignment 2 has been handed in I can reflect on my learning. I found it really hard to go through all the motions of the research but finishing it with no real end. For those of you who have done the subject you will know, you don't go through with the research you just write about it. It's a little frustrating and I must admit, I didn't do a thorough job as I should have. By the time I had written 2000 words I was exhausted. There is a lot of reading and justifying of why you would use a particular research method over another. My downfall, of course, the justifying. So by the time I got to the last 1000 words I was checking ever paragraph..am I there yet?? Not good.
I cannot rave enough about our lecturer though. Bev is the first lecturer who made me feel like an actual student and not just a name in the forum. She reached out and was concerned about your progress, she emailed you back straight away, she made herself available for any little query and for that I am very thankful. The topic was hard but the lecturer, the best! I am hoping that I run across her again at some stage but who knows, 5 subjects down now, 3 to go!!!!!!! :)
