Week 4 Update

• Where should you be in your research journey (refer back to the plan you formulated in week 3)? Are you there?
• If you look at the plan that I made in week three - I am ahead of schedule.  I am a person who has to continually build her paper and work a rough draft the entire time vs. just looking up stuff and reading things.  I am most successful when I am filling in the blanks and then working to refine.  Currently I am about 2 weeks away from having a finished rough draft and then will revisit, refine and revise as needed in order to get the clear vision and move on to my presentation.

• What issues did you hit, and what is your plan to overcome them?
• I didn't and haven't ran in to many issues.  The biggest issues that I had in the beginnign was locating examples of peple who have driven the change in how the world view women in the technology world.  However, most of those articlse that you find are fluff pieces in women's magazines.  So it was finding the women and then backing it up with publications in order to tell there stories.  But, that was over came and I have moved on.

• What did you do to make progress this week? Is it more, or less, than you expected to do (use last week's items to guide this)
• Since I was ahead of schedule I just continued reading articles regarding my topic.  Not to much movement on my paper.

• What do you expect to do next week?
• This week I will be building the sections of my paper, writing about specifics and weeding out the topics and/or informational directions I don't need to include in the paper.  Again still ahead of schedule.
