Disappointingly, my Ed.D. thesis proposal's provisional mark of 48 was confirmed at the exam board this week. This means I have failed the very last module I will probably ever take. To say I am disappointed is a bit of an understatement, having never failed anything academically.
I'm actually somewhat frustrated with my supervisor, who said I would be fine, simply referring me back to my notes. He was also never available to meet with me when I asked for clarification and ideas.
Not that I'm blaming him. It's my work, and now I've got until April 2008 to re-submit...

Hello Doug,
I am enjoying reading your blog and am interested in your ideas..I am sorry to read hear about the difficulties of your journey so far. I am a "young" 42 year old girl who is considering doing my masters after teaching full time since '89. I would like to focus my portfolio on the theory of connectivism, or similar to your ideas about digital literacy, how tech. can enhance learning in a primary classroom. I am quite nervous to take this leap, and wonder what happened with your work that you must re-submit??? I wish you the best of luck in getting it completed..will you change your supervisor??
