My timeline

Doing the timeline makes me think about how close I am to being complete in the program, as well as how much work lays ahead for researching the effectiveness of instructional technology programs. I feel fortunate that I will be responsible in my full-time position for doing this and will have the opportunity to perform this research in conjunction with my full-time responsibilities.

I have a current idea of what type of research I want to do, but this may change depending on how the grant is written that funds my position. The goals set forth in the grant (which I will find out on May 11th) will be a strong determining factor as to what my research will reflect.

For me, the greatest challenge for getting through writing a masters' thesis is the literature review. The process of reading the literature and comparing and contrasting all of the information will be laborious. I will have to learn to pace myself and read at least one piece of research per day in order to cover the depth of research required.
