I have spent most of today writing up my new research methodology plan. It has been a useful exercise and I am about 50% complete. I hope to complete the remaining portion next week and solicit feedback from my supervisors and a few other experts before executing. It is interesting to see how different the plan is from my original proposal and also my recent colloquium presentation. The key difference is detail. I am building my understanding of the rules, steps and decisions that need to be made before actual analysis is conducted.
I also re-read a paper and took more notes for my spreadsheet. Again, the difference is detail. I was able to understand the methods and findings section at a deeper level so was able to draw connections to my study. Feels good, still grappling with feeling slow though…
The security guard at the library has just informed me that it is closing in ten minutes. I need to sign off now!
