Module 3

We are a couple weeks into the term now and I have been very busy with my Module 3 inquiry!

Unfortunately I have been unable to attend the Skype Sessions due to being at sea. Although this has been frustrating, browsing other peoples blogs from the course has proven super helpful in keeping me in the loop of what has been discussed and helping to guide my personal learning. 

I have spent time going over my inquiry plan from Module 2 and using the feedback given to consider any changes that I want to make. I am pleased with my plan but I do think it is important for me to be open to the fact that my inquiry might inspire questions that I hadn't even considered, leading me to further questions in other areas! This is something that I have noticed is highlighted a LOT in my Module 3 Handbook...to be looking for my research to lead me to ask more questions, rather than looking for a closed answer. 

I have also completed my Study Plan - I think this is such a helpful tool in making sure I keep on top of my work. I am starting to see already how easy to is to get so deep in amongst carrying out the research that it is hard to know when to 'stop' and start analysing. So the plan is a great tool at staying within time limits.

Something I am struggling with at the moment is waiting on other people! I am waiting to hear back from participants to carry out several interviews - it is proving hard to find times that work for both parties, especially for me being out at sea for the majority of October. This just means that as soon as I get confirmation and the interviews take place, I need to be in a good spot with the rest of my research...allowing me to start my analysis on track.
