Progressing along

I had my weekly meeting with my supervisor yesterday and all is well. I sent him my research proposal, that is due for my research methods class, for review, and he had good things to say. The largest portion to date of my research proposal was my lit review, that I have spent considerable time on to date. I managed to incorporate the suggestions he made at our meeting last week, and he seemed to be very pleased with the result.

I think I am a little surprised...at me, and at him. From what I have heard from other master's students, supervisors are known to heavily critque the writing process. I am really not sure if he is just leaving all his critquing til we get further into the project, or I am just doing a good job. I highly respect my supervisor. He has done tremendous work in academia in his short life. Dr. Grant Isaac has completed his B.A. and M.A. in Economics at the UofS, and received his Ph.D from the London School of Economics. He will also be taking over as Dean of the College of Commerce as of July 1, 2006. All by the age of 35.

So...

When my supervisor says 'this is good,' and 'I really like it,' I think I need to take him seriously.

I will continue to develop my literature review, so that the framework I develop will produce the best results possible for my client. This thesis has become my core focus in this program.
