I was enrolled in the sequence II course while I was enrolled in Regression. This proved to be very useful because I would use apply what I learned in regression to my data. Again, similar to Sequence I, Sequence II was also a very valuable course. I think that one of the most unique aspects of this course is that students are provided the opportunity to independently develop and implement our own research study in whatever topic that was of interest to us. This class provided time and support for analyzing data as well as assisting other students analyze their data. As a result, we learned from each other and helped one another through the trials and tribulations of data organization and analysis.

I think that classes like the sequence I and II should be required for all PhD students, not just Educational Psychology students. Because of my experience with the sequence courses, I feel more confident in my research abilities and more prepared to tackle my dissertation. Additionally, this course provided me an outlet to meaningfully apply the research methods and statistical analyses learned in prior courses.
