ARP Organized!!!

I was working on the organization of my ARP yesterday. After speaking to P38* about how my information should be organized, I realized the time consuming that this paper is going to take. Yet, I am looking forward to working on my paper.

I began to work on the organization and structure of my Result section. The interview, the first sub-section, is a white-fast-write. I am going to have to go over it and edit the work, of course. I know that I am going to have to work on it more. After speaking to P38*, P38* gave me an excellent idea on how to organize this sub-section. I am planning to organize the work as I was suggested; if I realize that it doesn’t work for me, and then I will just have to figure out something else.

The second sub-section, Surveys, is the most developed one, in my opinion. After closing the survey, I took the student’s answers and inputted them into a chart in Microsoft Word. Each chart result is explained and one chart easily leads to the next, just as I intended in the survey. Yet, I think that I am going to have to go back to this sub-section though. Although this section is the most developed, this section can easily be read alone. I do not see any type of connection before and after this section is inputted into my ARP. I am going to have to work on this section.

The final sub-section, Observation, is also a white-fast-write. I observed four tutors and tutees in the University Writing Center. This sub-section is going to be the most difficult, due to the fact that there were many observations. Nonetheless, I am going to work on this section and develop it well. I am thinking about putting my observation in a bullet-list. I think it will be easier to read and will not be repetitive to the Discussion section, the next section of my ARP.
