Just finished week 2 assignment, not too bad. Thought the feedback from administrators in the video's was interesting. Still trying to narrow down my research project, did have a chance to meet briefly with my administrator and got some constructive advice. Will post my ideas on the discussion board hoping for some feedback, I really think I know what I want to do especially after doing the reading in Dana.
