Research Seminar - EDUC 790-04
Spring 2015 Dr. Edna Martinez Reflection… Taking this course helped me organize my literature review further. Dr. Edna Martinez guided me and my peers throughout the quarter to stay focused and craft the structure of our literature review. Completing assignments such as: Literature Review Writing Plan/Goals, Communication with Dissertation Chair, Structured Abstracts, and Conceptual Diagram helped me with the overall organization and making progress towards writing my literature review. The structured writing time helped me tremendously. The discussions focusing on dissertation related topics during class with Dr. Martinez and my peers helped me to fine tune my literature review further. The format of the class was very welcoming and I felt comfortable to share my research topic and subtopics many times. Completing each activity reinforced my subtopics and finding related articles. |
