Well, it's hard. I'm slow in reading. Trying to keep up with the post every day is hard. Now it's 2:17 but i still have one chapter to go. I love the assigned books though. It would be a even better course if it was taught in fall or spring so that i could have more time in reading and again. Right now, there is absolutely no time to read back!
The goal of the course for me: understand the tables in research paper, making sense of what they are and whether they are there
Second goal is that i may come up with a nice instrument or design to make a proposal for my own research. Though it is one of the assignment, i really would like to put it into a pilot study or real in life so that i could make it to AERA. I don't know if i could make it. But i will have a try.
I love the way of dealing with real life data in my content area. It makes more sense to me. I would like to learn something more with Excel and definitely SPSS. Khan Academy's instruction is enjoyable, too though i dozed off from time to time watching them.
Hopefully i could be ahead of the reading with the weekend coming up and so that give myself some time to work on the papers and think what i would like to come up with.
