Semester Goals

I feel this semester is crucial to me in many ways.  I am at the point where I need to move ahead with my dissertation proposal as well as my research.  I now understand my ideas better and am ready to take the next step!

My goals for this semester:

1.  Complete, present, and "pass" my dissertation proposal.

2.  Complete IRB and submit.

3.  Take comps over holiday break.

4.  Sign on a 4th committee member! (URI suggestions?)

I am confident this class will help me attain some, if not all, of my semester goals.  I look forward to working, brainstorming, and just talking with the class about our various ideas.  Actually, I view this as more than a class but rather as a critical friends network.
