My personal STEMS^2 research project is straight ruining me. It is a very time consuming project that eats up all of my free time. If I am not working I am doing research for my plan b paper or revising research tools such as survey forms, focus group questions, and or consent forms. I feel like David after the dentist.
And after I stop crying I realize oh yeah I have no one to blame but myself for wanting to get my masters through a one year intense program. So when I only sleep for four hours and need to work for 10 hours then come home to do homework I tell myself
I always feel like I am behind on my project that I can
never be in a position where I feel comfortable. However, I just turned in my first draft of
my plan b so a good chunk got taken care of.
I do know that it will go under revisions though.
The next big thing on my list that I want to tackle is
submitting my IRB application. I am
hoping to turn that in this week so that I can get approval for my research
project by March 21, 2016. March 21 to March 23 is the dates for my camp where I will be implementing my STEMS^2 unit. The camp will last for the majority of the day from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Students will also take a field trip to bishop museum which should be pretty cool with all the Lele o Na Manu: Hawaiian Forest Birds, 'ahu 'ula and mahiole of Kalani opu'u, and Sweet: A Tasty Journey. You can check out the upcoming exhibits for yourself here: http://www.bishopmuseum.org/exhibits/upcoming.html
You will be glad you did =)
The camp date is quickly approaching, but luckily I finished all the training units early and now that the first draft of my plan b is complete it shouldn’t be too hard to fill out the application. I do need to finalize the consent, surveys, and focus group questions, but I am on my second draft now.

I like to look ahead and have a plan in mind so I was happy to see that our next readings will be on data and analysis. I started looking up other resources online on techniques people use to analyze their data. I am hoping that my math back ground will help make analyzing the data a little easier for me. But just in case it isn’t, I am prepared to continue to tell myself that I can do this and
