Blog 4: Plans for Revision, etc.
Condensing my literature review for my research proposal should not be too hard, considering that I already synthesized my topic into its most basic pieces. All I would need to do is condense these pieces even more into single paragraphs and transfer the rationale and conclusion of my review into different sections. Additionally, I feel like my research method, as well as the anticipated criticisms of this method, has derived naturally from this review. Because I have done most of the work already, it's just a matter of time before I put everything together.
If I were to be concerned about anything, it would be the specific tools I would use to complete my research. As I explained in my previous post, I practically stumbled upon the focus of my research as I wrote my literature review. Once I knew what I was looking for, I looked for literature that would help me develop a predetermined code of my qualitative analysis. I have since found two texts--one from a health communication specialist and the other from a rhetoric of health and medicine scholar--that should help me in this regard.
I think that you have a clear plan for your research proposal - and that's fantastic! Your revision plan should help you piece together your proposal well. I agree that a qualitative analysis is the best route for your topic. It seems that you have useful sources for your study and I hope that they provide enough information for what you need. On a side note, I love the way you have designed your blog page. It looks very clean, easy to read, and aesthetically pleasing.
