The End

I turned in my paper last night and I am so happy.  Dr. Greenlaw you made this a great class.  My classmates you all were awesome and I never had a dull moment.  I hope you all have great winter breaks and I am sure we will have a blast with Dr. Rycroft in Forecasting!
“Your [...]

I see the light

I finished my presentation and I am so happy it is done.  I learned a lot from that experience, such as how to present Empirical data in an understandable format.  If I were to have done that presentation again I would definitely take Brittany’s advice on bringing more “casual” data with me.  It would have [...]

Lessons learned

In my other career failures happen often and because of that we always have a lessons learned moment. I started this research project off the entirely wrong way. I dove into something without conducting a proper recon of my objective, I did not do any pre-mission planning, I did not set specific timelines/goals, [...]

Getting it together

Ok,
I was in a really bad mood yesterday. I more or less panicked in my own mind and rational thinking stopped. My research project came to a grinding halt as I realized my research plan “the way forward” was severely flawed. I scrambled to read more articles and gather more data, but [...]

A lot of work

Wow,
I have a lot of work to do.  I have taken scathing criticism to heart about my research proposal and am frantically trying to get it together.  Of course I don’t have a normal time table.  My T, R, Sat, and Sun are more than half dedicated to  fulfilling contractual obligations.  Still, I have set [...]

I am worried

I completed my research proposal at 8 am this morning and I am not sure if it is adequate.  Interestingly enough as I was writing this proposal I started to see a lot of holes in my amatuer research.  I am hoping that with the errors I found this morning and the honest criticsm I [...]

Hypothesis

The more I read about it and think about it alternative energy vehicles are not ready for primetime yet.  Hybrids are looking to be more the solution, but gas needs to get well over $4.00 in order to make them more cost efficient.  I still don’t know exactly how expensive gas needs to get, so [...]

Getting complicated

Well now I am starting to see why research can be so bias.  Nobody wants to invest all the time to go over every facet of a subject.  I am doing that car topic and I am finding myself overwhelmed with all of the different variables that can affect car sales, emissions, fuel costs, and [...]

Analysis

Well I think I have obtained a couple of papers to constitute my literary review. I don’t know how many papers I need exactly or if there is any guideline in that way. Now I am getting nervous about the quantitative analysis I am going to be doing for the paper. I [...]

You have to find the right environment

Well I have finally started to really get down and dirty with my paper. The only problem is that my apartment is still recovering from a small lobster fire resulting from a stove that was left on all night long with , you guessed it, a lobster boiling. So my place stinks and [...]
