MGT5028: Completed! April 24, 2009

Posted by thinkphd in : MGT5028 , trackback

I turned in my last assignment in MGT5028 Statistics this week and Dr. S graded it and submitted my final grade. I got an “A” in the course - which hardly reflects the number of hours I put into the assignments! The 12th and final assignment had 4 sections. Using the renal.sav file, I had to perform a nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test, a Kruskal-Wallis H test, a Chi-square test and then a Correlation and Regression in SPSS. The directions required analysis of each of the test results and points were awarded based on the responses. I looked back over the assignments focusing on these tests and followed the analyses, as I had received good marks on those papers.

MGT5028 completes all the core courses for the degree. Now I begin the first research phase course RSH9101B - Research Topic, Problem, Purpose and Questions. I just keep pinching myself! I don’t think it has really hit me yet that I am ready to start the intensive work for the PhD. I have a few options in front of me now. I can start right now, or wait up to 45 days and still be considered as continually enrolled. I know my father must have some more surgery so I plan to wait and begin June 1st. We are also planning a trip back home to Alabama/Georgia soon so this will give me some time to visit without thinking about school. A breather! I really need it, too!
