This week I have finished my IRB training modules, worked from 7:30 to 4:45 everyday, worked out 5 times and even managed to squeeze in a some time to study for the Comps. I am a bit nervous about the exam tomorrow. I feel prepared for 3 out of the 4 sections but at this point unless I can figure out how to sneak in my research on the topics I think I'll have to just go for it.
As for the IRB training I thought it was rather interesting to read about all of the abuses that human subjects have gone through in the name of science and societal benefits. I think it has made me more aware of the outside pressures that participants may experience from sources you wouldn't think of looking for. What's funny is that in the midst of theses modules I received an e-mail survey on a program that my school is taking part in for a research company. Funny how things in life seem to coincide like that. Well, I should probably head to bed, sleep in eat a hearty breakfast and get ready for an intense 4 hours of testing.
Next week I will be finishing the IRB, and possibly going crazy we'll see which one comes 1st. As always all comments and or suggestions are welcome.

Hi Leah,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a busy week! Hope you had some relaxing today. Did comps go well?
I really enjoyed reading your proposal - it would have been interesting to see how it played out. Hopefully you will be all done in a few weeks.
Now that the comps are done, you can relax.. a bit!
