** Appendix A-D **

(Daryl, 9-13-09) What I don't get is that there seems to be stages in the upcoming weeks in which we will be addressing the problem question and other aspects of our study, yet it appears that we have to have everything (surveys, quizzes, letters, etc.) already planned out and finalized before we can even fill out out IRB forms. Am I right on that or am I missing something? I'm scrambling to try and get it all figured out so I can submit my forms, but I'm having a tough time because, I may not be at the exact place I expect to be at that time, due to homecoming and other thigs that just come up. How are the rest of you handling that? Feedback?
 * IRB Protocol **

(Jess 9-27-09) Sorry I haven't check our wiki in a while. I had the same feelings/thoughts as you Daryl. Has anyone received their approval yet? I emailed Marc with IRB and he said he has all my work needed, but they haven't reviewed my submission. yet.


 * OTHER GENERAL QUESTIONS/CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROCESS? **

(Daryl, 9-15-09) I was wondering what some of you are doing in terms of surveys, quizzes, questionaires, blogs, etc. to gather your data? If you're intersted in posting a link to your tools to share with us, you can do that here.

(Daryl, 9-17-09) After reading many similar replies regarding peoples' passion for this particular program, I felt compelled to chime in. I have been thinking about a masters for years and just was not interested in the run of the mill, there done that, now give me my money type of masters. I'm guessing it may well have even been easier, but lacking inspiration. I feel as though I have learned a lot that I am already using and it's leaving me hungry to dive in even deeper and further explore some of the things we've done in earlier classes, but haven't had the time to do since then due to the succeeding classes. Another thing I really wanted from a masters was to open new doors for me professionally and I think this program may provide some interesting opportunities in the future. We are on the cutting edge. We are pioneers!
