I think I am over the hump. Just spent a full day at the library and have a very solid draft of my quantitative assignment. Reran a good deal of the analysis, reread many of the handouts from the November workshop and leveraged them for my interpretation of the results. Ialso cleaned up the wording to reflect academic language and spent a good chunk of time referencing my statistics text books, SPSS for Dummies and the handouts. Things are in fairly good shape. It is a good thing because the library is closing in 30 minutes, I have been here for 8 hours!!
My approach this week has been a bit of ebb and flow, and I think it was a good mix that led me to this outcome. On Monday I cleaned up the assignment and prepped for my meeting with the tutor. Tuesday I spent a full 2 hours with the tutor reviewing concepts. I did some Wikipedia research and reading on Wednesday and Thursday, which was light but kept the momentum going. Yesterday I played two hours of tennis and today I started the day with a relaxing brunch with a friend before hitting the library. I knew that it was going to be long but I was committed to staying to completion, so I brought lots of snacks to eat.
I feel very satisfied and know that the there is probably 3-5 more hours of review to undertake, but the bulk of the heavy lifting is over now. Woohoo!
