Inquiry Project (Week 6)

Thanks to Ian Kim for this photo!

Welcome back! This week has been just as crazy as last week. For my inquiry project this week, I’ve decided to think about what I can do better to progress on my inquiry project. 

The possible options I‘ve identified:

  • Change my inquiry project
  • Break up longer courses into more manageable chunks
  • Take shorter courses

I didn’t think changing my inquiry project was possible until someone mentioned in class this week how they needed to change their inquiry project. This is a possible idea for me. I could choose something else that wasn’t so time intensive. On the other hand, I do like my topic. I’m happy with what I’ve chosen for my inquiry project, and I think it’s important work. 

Another idea is breaking up longer courses into more manageable chunks. No matter how much I want to dedicate eight hours a week to this project, there have been some weeks where this is just impossible. Right now, I’m not sure how I would format the blog posts if I chose this route. Would I talk a little about the course each week and my impressions so far? I think this would make sense, but I also recognize that sometimes it can be difficult to talk about certain courses to that extent. 

Another possibility would be to simply take shorter courses. This might be difficult, as some of the courses I’ve identified as interesting are quite long. Other courses simply do not have an estimated time for completion. This could prove challenging, as I would not know how long it could (possibly) take. 

What option do you think is best?
