I now have two weeks to complete my final senior thesis paper. What a whirlwind of emotions. I've been working on this project for the greater half of 9 months now, and as much as I hate to see it go, I'm relieved to move on to the next step of my life, being the real world.
I met with Dr. Bisha last week before Easter break started so that I could know if my literature review and method section were at the point of being able to turn in. I did those portions so early because I fully know how intense putting together my data analysis is going to be. I wanted to be able to focus on the analysis portion for the next two weeks and not have to worry about the other sections.
The motivation getting me through these next two weeks is the fact that in less than three weeks, I'll be graduated. I'm in the home stretch right now and I don't plan on slacking now (even though I want to). As I've mentioned in my last journal, I have quite a few things to add in to my data analysis section. When I discovered all of my new data about central and peripheral processing, I had nine days until my presentation, so I had no time to go in to my paper and put in all of the new information. On top of that, I will be answering the questions that were addressed in my Q/A from the English and Communication professors. Among those will include: What will make an effective online training course?; How would I create my own Title IX training?; What would I do about the different group sizes of students?; and, Is age a determining factor of the responses to my survey and the two different training sessions?
Luckily, I do have answers to those questions and the hardest part about adding it all to my paper will be to figure out where exactly to put it all. At this point, I'm thinking that towards the end of my analysis to help bring the whole thing together. I will still be keeping everything that I've already had in the data section, which is good because I'd much rather have things to add than things to take out.
As I go through this editing and adding process of my paper, it will be very tedious, but I'm truly looking forward to end result of this paper since I have been working so hard on it since September.
