Today I'm going to work on the consent and assent documents for my participants, and also revise rest parts of Chapter 3. In this camp, I could move on to apply for the IRB application and received mental an emotional supports through sharing our experiences of preparing for a dissertation. After I became a PhD candidate, I became too intimidated and got depressed. Throughout the process listening every session and talking with other cohorts, I got confident as I've heard how others get deal with their emotional difficulties and put their effort to motivate themselves. Additionally, I've gained confidence what I'm doing now and feeling that everybody is in a same boat. I deeply appreciate this camp that I realize what I really like to do, although I still have numerous limitations.

Today I revised my interview questions again and the description of case study in the beginning part of Chapter 3.

Revising chapter 3 takes longer than I thought.My entire goal for this camp is that revising chapter 3 and re-submit to adviser to get another feedback. I need to add more detail to recruit participants as I've worked on the IRB application so I will focus on that.

I will continue to work on IRB process and revise chapter 3 based on advisor's feedback. My chapter 3 includes conversation analysis and discourse analysis so I will read more articles related to discourse analysis to build my argument of using those two analysis methods.

I will continue to revise my Chapter 3 based on my adviser's feedback. Building stronger arguments while revising For today, I made revision about the section of paradigm. The way to organize literature, I make a table with the summaries, key points, author, participants, methods, and so forth. I also include key quotes that are applicable to my study. I made several tables under big categories which make me easier to read and find for the next time for other studies.
