Yes, it has been a few weeks since I have updated you on the research project. But that does not mean that progress has been slow. Oh no, not so.
Although I did take a short break in December, the first few days of January was a time to reflect on the Fall term. I took three days to assess the classes offered in the Fall. I even wrote up a report to share with you. And then IT happened...
Between January 2nd and 4th, three profs requested an archives session. By January 8th, I had received three more requests. Six classes -- all asking for sessions to be given within the same two-week time frame! As you can well imagine, my report (and this blog) quickly went by the wayside. Sorry about that.
My research assistant, Amber, and I have been busy planning and delivering sessions ever since. There has been little-to-no time to reflect on the project. Still, this insane pace brought out some creative ideas.
How did it all work out, you ask? I negotiated the sessions to be spread out a bit more widely and one prof decided to withdraw her request (due to a change in the assignment), so I did five sessions in three weeks. Of those sessions, four were completely new. The last session was held only this week. Yes, it WAS a busy January/February.
The good news is that I can now return to reflection and analysis of the entire year. I have planned some special presentations about this research -- and, I can blog about it again!
