week5-Is the class half over, or half started?
Session 5 At CSUSB it is time for a refill :-) Dumb joke in this context, funny when refering to the glass of spirits!
I have been busy with my MA project app, my IRB, and polishing off my Lit Review. I met with Newberry today, the 26th not my blog date stamp. I blogged until my heart was content, thanks Dr. Newberry for the kind words about my Blogging skills :-).
Today the 2nd, I am polishing off my Lit. Review. Trying to get it to the magic number of pages Newberry recommended. All I can say is it is hard to do so when your motivation is down, and you have other distractions that pull your time and efforts away from this class.
Back to my meeting with Newberry, he recommended that I go to week 6 site and preview everything before trying to get my MA proposal and IRB done. Why you may ask? Because he does not get to meet some of us and when he has to be the first reader he likes to have all the applications in a specific way so he knows what we have been working on. My tip, listen to Newberry and don't reinvent the wheel like I tried. :-)
PDC summer school notes:
- Session 1 5 weeks: EDUC 603 is M and W, EDUC 605 is T and TH
- Session 2 5 weeks: There are no session 2 classes for our MA program
- Session 3 10 weeks:EDUC 607 is T and TH, but overlaps with 605. You need to march with Keith and I at the PDC campus to get them to open this up to us so we can graduate in Winter Quarter.
- Session 1 5 weeks online: ETEC 676 is Newberry's totally online elective that will be on Blogging (I wonder what that is?:-) and Podcasting. If you need an elective, take it because there should be no face to face meetings, and any class you can take from Newberry will be a good one (hoping for the brown nose points here:-)
- Fin Aid application is a one pager (simple), you fill it out and drop it off at the PDC campus at Seniora's desk, or bring it to the main campus.
Here is to Summer registration :-) and finishing off our lit review.

Project App, IRB, Lit Review... *ack!* it gets easier? Right?
(I think it's Week Four though) [ss]
Hello Dale:
I used your link to your school site and your Project application. I also am putting together my project app. Is the application just this one page?
Robert
SS, I am ahead of myself then :-)At least my reputation procedes me or I would be late for evrything.
Robert, The MA application is only 1 page, but the IRB is a zillion. Dr. Newberry has a sample on week 6 I believe.
There is, in fact, an example of doing an IRB in the week 6 materials. So if you are doing your IRB, check it out!
This stuff does get easier... when it is done! Remember, though, the pain you feel now will reduce the pain you will feel later! I promise...
Dale, I know what you mean about distractions. They come from every angle. It makes it very difficult to stay focused and motivated, but I'm seeing this one to the end. I need to polish up my lit review in a big way. I hope I can get enough done tonight to submit.
