Introduction and Reflection

As part of the ETR 501 class, I went to a symposium, and here I was able to meet other

professionals and share my ideas. I also attended a round table talk session, where I was given

advice on how to reach my research goals. The experience of ETR522 encouraged me to take

ETR501 and I chose to do a poster alongside with my classmate. Together we went to the

College of Education Student Research Symposium in order to get more feedback on our

research methods. We utilized the quantitative approaches which we learned in ETR 522, and

which allowed us a greater scope to use SPSS and work with statistical analyses for finalizing

our research procedures and reaching conclusions to our advantage.
