I am grateful for the opportunity to learn in this participatory, dialogue-based course.
I did more work for this class than all my others combined. This class offered very hands-on learning that was immediately applicable to my personal, academic, and career goals and plans.
What did I learn that I will put to work for me?
* Do the literature review early on and extensively (this includes emailing/talking to experts).
* Identify a critical question of which I'm prepared to become an expert in that key area.
* Research the donor/organization well and only proceed with a match.
* "Do Budget first," Wiley said. (Before narrative, justification, resumes, methodologies.)
* Work with team regularly. (Sort out roles, responsibilities, expectations.) Carve & share work.
* Have that crucial conversation. (Kicking people off the team.)
* If I hadn't had this class, I would not have: met with Aaron, met with ORCA, met with Dean Young, collaborated intimately with 4 professors, nor submitted the grant proposal to 3ie.
