I spent four hours this week continuing my reading of the Salas dissertation. This week I nearly finished the literature review which gave me a few hours about how I might approach developing my literature review. I should complete the reading of the dissertation this week and I will be ready to begin the process of starting my work. I had mentioned to Farzin what I was thinking about doing for a dissertation and he suggested that I read these 2 studies to determine if this was the kind of study I was thinking about. These 2 studies have convinced me to proceed.
