Well, this is Week 4 of this particular research class and I must say it is a little more challenging that I had originally thought it would be! I am not making any changes so far to my plan so please feel free to review it from my Week 3 posting.
I would really appreciate any comments you can make in regards to this plan. I realize there are many things to consider and would appreciate any recommendations!
Thanks and happy blogging!
