Today starts week 6 of our first 11 week quarter. I would
like you to take a moment and dig out your goals for the quarter. How are you
doing? If you are on target, then give yourself a pat on the back – good job!
What if you are not meeting your goals? Let’s take a moment
to reflect on that – why do you think that you are not reaching them? How far
off are you? Is it possible to put in an extra day or so and catch up? If not,
contact your chair and discuss the situation NOW! Perhaps you can readjust your
goals or edit them, but keep your chair informed of your progress and ask for
their input. Do not wait until the last week of the quarter to let him or her
know you are not meeting the goals.
Show responsibility and commitment to your dissertation, it
will make a big difference with your chair and committee.
Next time I will discuss how to talk to your chair. Do you
have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post?
Would you like to be a guest writer? Send me your ideas! leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
