You go ... Whoo boy .. understatement of the year! Still, congratulations on making it this far ... light at end of tunnel appearing!
Thanks for the support - my chair has indicated that I will have her comments by the end of next week. Looking at it - I'm performing a qualitative soldier retention study. I struggled a bit with my chapter 3, and my chair may have issues with my lit review because I chose not to go in depth with civilian turnover lit and I kept a military focus with my lit review. We'll see. But, even though everyone has told me to be prepared to revise, a large weight has been lifted off of my shoulders... Thanks again everyone - I'll keep everyone up to date. Shawn
Got the proposal back Of course, I have some revision to do - need to work a bit more on my chapter 3 and research questions - and to work hard to remove myself from the dissertation topic - looking to submit revised dissertation proposal by June 1. Shawn
Thanks for sharing your adventures. It may help others along the way. I wondered why there were so many ABDs out there. Now I am beginning to understand!
First Revision submitted OK, I submitted my first revision to my diss proposal on Wednesday while I was at Annual Training with the National Guard - should have some feedback within a few days. My guess is that after this revision - I will be a few "tweaks" away. I believe I addressed the major concerns my chair has... Shawn
Just a couple of tweaks... Just got off the phone with my chair - we are a couple of tweaks away She is very happy with the proposal, and once we address a couple of minor issues, we are going to committee! Shawn
