The Past Couple Weeks!
April 21, 2023
Hi Everyone!
After many disruptions (spring break and word press down), I was finally able to get back to writing and into word press! Over these past few weeks, I have had great findings and made a lot of progress on my research paper. I have created a table, analyzing the 5 different data sets I am studying (shown below). My research paper is almost complete. I just have to add to my results and conclusion. Overall, I am done with the bulk of my research and now working on the finishing touches.
In addition to my paper, I have preparing for my Oral Defense Presentation, next Tuesday. My presentation is looking good, and I plan to spend this weekend continuing to prepare for it.
Have a great weekend!
