Worth the Wait

With John, I took Dr. Bryan't first qual research class and knew we had something special with who taught it. The advanced class came the following year but I waited until Dr. Bryan taught it, extending my degree timeline slightly, to make sure my education was excellent. The wait was worth it.

This is someone who really gets education, and more importantly, learners.

I was able to to produce a rough draft prospectus in the second class, that although needs plenty of work, has really laid a good foundation for dissertation. Very thankful for that. The photo below is related to a study I conducted during this class. From learning in the advanced course this term, I feel much more confident to analyze my data. Thanks, Carol!

My Tribute

I originally took EDRE 5640 with Dr. Bryant in the fall of 2010.  It was the first class I took in my Ed.D. program in literacy studies.  From the moment I began the class, I realized that Dr. Bryant cared about content and about her students.  She took the time to counsel us individually and really helped me develop some concrete ideas for my dissertation.  The way she presented information and the way her classes were structured really helped me progress as a doctoral student.  I know that her influence will be felt through myself and the other students who were fortunate enough to have her as a professor.
