Today I attended the first research forum for this semester. Basically the research forum is where the doctoral students and professors of the Dept of Special Education gather about 3-4 times per semester. The main function of the forum is for the students to present qualifier proposals and results and get feedback from the faculty.

There seems to be fewer and fewer doc student in the dept. This year there’s only 1 new doctoral student and she’s from Russia. Only 8 doc students attended the meeting today.

I proposed my qualifier last semester and I have yet to really work on it yet.
