About time...

I have finally decided that I need to blog more often. It is about time I do this!

Today, I am grading undergraduate and graduate assignments. The graduate students turned their research study/project proposals on Monday night. These research proposal are their guides for the research study or research projects that they will do in the spring semester. When I assess their work I read it for content (does it make sense), completeness (did they follow the assignment directions), formatting (did they follow all of the APA and other formatting requirements), and will the methods described answer the research questions and/or purpose statements.

Assessing the proposal takes some time. I try to give detailed feedback to each student that will help them develop the best study and/or project.
