  1. Grounded Theory : Looking Ahead Jordan Wright Final Reflection EDU 895 July 12, 2013

  2. Taking The Dive • Ph.D. programs can make you question your path: The pressure is on to decide what to do, how you’re going to do it, how you’ll defend it, how you’ll… Survive When I thought about taking a third research class…

  3. You’re Kidding, Right?

  4. @@

  5. Day One • Dr. Yuknis announced: • We will do a GTM project on ‘jobs’ • In addition to writing a sample proposal. • Being summer and all, My natural reaction:

  6. In 6 weeks? On Top of Quals?!

  7. Relief in sight… • I was happy to learn it was not lecture driven. Like some classes that shall not be named. • It was not like other classes in which certain professors made me feel like…

  8. Just saying.

  9. The Group • I learned the most from interacting with the group • Credibility can be powerful with peer reviewers • Just when I thought I knew pretty much everything about the Deaf community, I realized how much diversity exists within this small group. • Then I thought about the diversity that’s going to affect how I tackle my dissertation…

  10. *sigh*

  11. And then there was coding. • Words, words, more words! • There’s a code for everything. • There has to be an app for this.

  12. … and still waiting for qual results.

  13. Getting my second wind • At first, coding seemed like a big maze • I remember feeling overwhelmed with all the data • I saw contrasts instead of similarities But I got my second wind and realized Ph.D. student/Boot Camp = Same thing.

  14. Yes Sir, mrs. Sir!

  15. After the QualStorm Passed.. • I returned to class with a newfound sense of optimism and fresh eyes for GTM :

  16. GTM = Confidence • I started to understand patterns and triangulation • I started to better understand how I might go about framing the groundwork for my dissertation. • Confidence is Sexy.

  17. Charmaz: Inspiring

  18. Thinking about the future • As a result of this class I feel: • GTM really is the best fit for what I want to do • Especially since everyone *ahem* seems to have an opinion about Deaf-Blindness in general:

  19. Looking Forward • The dissertation seems like less of a myth • How I imagine walking into my dissertation defense:

  20. What it will really, probably be like:

  21. *cringe*

  22. I enjoyed working with y’all!
