Working on my Concept Paper and feeling dumb!

Well, I look forward to reading it when you are finished and published!

 

I think something has been started with the "monkey" comment. Thanks me again!

 

You bet!!!

 

Damn, that is funny!

 

Alright - just a little update if anyone cares. I submitted the next paper - Measurements/Assessments Paper and it was rejected. I did it over and was told it was okay but only has a 50/50 chance of making through the final check on the concept paper so I will need to revisit it before the final.

I redid some of it and started on the next paper - Justify Research Design - which promptly got rejected. I just spent the last 5 hours redoing it. I hope this one gets accepted because it is easy from here. The - Revise Your Annotated Bibliography - is next and when that is done then the Concept paper finals (one to the mentor, he returns with comments then it is resubmitted to the committee).

I guess I am not really in bad shape since I submitted six papers in seven days (the class started on 6/1 and today is 6/7) of a 12 week class. I started on all of them two weeks early, a lot is built from previous course work, and I am putting in 4-6 hours a day on these. I know it is always the person that fails med school is the one that says you can't pass, just like I had a friend that failed the MCSE exams tell me I could never do it, but if you are thinking about a PhD, be damn sure you have the time to put into it. The course work is a breeze but now is when the rubber meets the road. I have a whole new respect for anyone that has earned a (real) PhD. Maybe I should just buy one from....

 

keep pluggin Randall! This is the foundation -- get the literary foundation, the conceptual model, the research methdology, etc. and you will be there! GOOD LUCK!!
