This morning i did a survey in my free for my research project and i just tried to open it and its not there !! sooooooooooooooo angryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@:@

Today we thought about our research question and had to make a list of 3 different topics and then make a question to do with each topic.

Today we got handed out some sheets about the research project and the teacher explained what we need to do and the kind of research we need to conduct to get the final product.

Today we looked at some previous research proposals to help get ours started. I had an idea that I could do my research project on child development like how long it takes a child to form a personality and learn how to get what they want i.e. when they cry to be fed.

I’ve changed my question again and decided on my idea and I will be researching the question “are people that do bad things i.e. steal, sell illegal drugs etc actually bad people”. I’ve done my time line and determined that it should take about 14 weeks to complete it.

Today my topic and question have changed to something less complicated “what influences Adelaide teens to take drugs?” I was thinking of doing it on “what influences teens to shop lift” but after doing some research I had found nothing.

I did some research on the internet to find some background information but didn’t find much as there isn’t really information on certain states i.e. Adelaide or maybe I’m just not looking for the right things.

Today I’ve finally decided on my question “ what is the extent of drug usage among young people in SA compared to the rest of Australia ”.

i hate research project !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! teachers are so annoying ! i did this fricken stuff last year and my teacher said it was all good and now its wrong? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr fml i dont care if i fail this shit, its totally not worth going to uni for.

THANKS-- proposal looks pretty good now, will begin marking soon. Thanks for getting it done and getting the corrections done. Looks like you are getting a bit frustrated with this course so far.. please have a chat to me with any concerns that you have. I only offer corrections or suggestions to work so that you can maximise your marks for the things you hand up-- this is only fair because this is all so new a quite confusing, you guys need as much feedback as possible. Once all this technical stuff is out of the way you can go about doing your research and just have to worry about the discussions (see main wiki page for details) and your actual presentation- JT

recently i have been away from this lesson as i was sick but i still managed to get some work done, althought it wasnt as much as id hoped for i did find some interesting information to help with my project.

Today nearly the whole class was away which was good because it was very quite and easy to get a move on with my work and research. my research is coming along well and so are my surveys, many people have been kind enough to help me out with them by giving me their own knowledge on my subject, so far the surveys that have been handed back to me have all been relivively along the same line, which will be good putting it into statistics and the rest of my final product.

i have found some VERY helpful information on the internet so far.

In todays lesson i will be handing out some of my surveys and sending them to people via email and facebook as they are really good ways to get it out there and to alot of people. ill also post my survey on this.

Today i am getting things ready for my interview thing and recieving some completed sureveys.

Recently i have been working on getting my information sorted out and put into my essay format, also i have been trying to finish my referancing.

I still havent done my interview with my teacher this week.

i have started on my essay this last week and think its coming along nicely.
