"Thanks again for teaching the time management seminar last semester. I found it extremely helpful. In fact, after applying the techniques I was able to finish my dissertation in a few short months. I can't stress enough, how your approach helped to overcome the 1) sense of being overwhelmed with the dissertation project , 2) the resulting procrastination and 3) the inability to meet deadlines at the last minute. Overall, I would say that your seminar has offered a new approach to simultaneously tackling multiple projects. It was a great help for a true procrastinator such as myself. Currently, I'm making progress towards finishing multiple publications while on the job market. I'm sure others will find similar benefits in this approach."

What I've realized through exposure in the GTP and in the MCDB teaching summer class I am taking is that educational really research really light my fire. I happily read about it. I question the methods. I want to know more. I can talk about it for hours... More than that, it can be done on the scientific disciplines and there is a need for it (for example, it's essentially the whole point of CIRTL). So I really want to transition over to the school ed so I can conduct educational research on the sciences. The career possible are rather endless - speaking engagements, teaching, consulting, writing, etc - and they are all things I would LOVE to do. In all honesty, I've never felt so confident and happy about a path I've decided to explore.
