We are halfway through finals week, and the end of the quarter is nearly in sight. My students take their final Thursday morning, bright and early at 8 am. Proctoring exams is my least favorite thing to do, because it is 2 straight hours of absolute boredom. It means 2 hours of dead silence, making sure that nobody is cheating during the exam.
Today I turned in my class paper for my Political Participation class. I wrote a research design that examines the political behavior of Asian Americans and the contexts under which they are motivated to participate. In a research design, I have to state my research question, discuss the literature and theory that has addressed my research question, state my hypothesis, and then outline my plan for how I intend to answer my research question. I don't actually plan to follow through with this research design considering that the political participation of Asian Americans isn't really one of my research interests.
This week I am also working on a draft of my literature review for my 1st qualifier. I have also started data analysis as well.
In other news, I have decided not to go back to Minnesota for Christmas. I will be spending the holiday in Oceanside. I plan to finish up some RA work and I plan to work on my qualifying paper over the break.
