A brief summary of year 2

A one minute read; a prelude to a summary to follow in August.

Year 2 end is 30th September, but my reporting is due in by 31st July. Hence the hiatus on my blog, and the brevity now.

I would write the following of me, as my supervisor: “Warren has spent much of year 2 hiding behind his philosophical underpinnings. However, he has turned a corner. His empirical research is finally making an appearance in his methodology. We now have a workable plan of establishing empirical evidence to answer the research question he has asked. This is a little welcome clarity of where the path leads towards, and what this is about. The second year therefore represents [sufficient/insufficient] progress; progress because everything is moved forward, albeit slowly. This extended time making preparations will now need to be backed up with an execution of this plan without distraction, and a clarity in reporting how this plan became actions, and actions into results. There is much to do, if by this time next year we are advancing towards preparations for defending results to an external examiner —i.e., defending empirical findings, and fully developed theory, of things not yet asked in the planned one-to-one interviews.”
