Updating My Blog

This week in ISM, I spent most of my time organizing the survey responses I was receiving for my Original Work and updating my blog. Currently, I'm planning on analyzing the data based off two groups: lower limb vs. upper limb prosthetics. Because there are several differences between the designs of these two types of prosthetics, I believe separating the responses into groups will allow me to draw a stronger conclusion at the end. The only issue I face while following this method is that I have received significantly fewer responses for upper limb prosthetics, which mainly has to do with the fact that these amputations are much less common. As a result, the sample group for upper limb could be too small to get an accurate representation of the entire population, but I still think the pros of this method outweigh its cons. Another aspect of this week was that I fully updated my blog by posting all the research assessments, interview assessments, and the first evidence of learning that I have completed so far. I also scheduled my second mentor visit for next Wednesday, and I want to utilize that time to get my mentor's help with organizing my survey responses and planning out my Original Work analysis. By the end of this upcoming week, I'm hoping to have gathered about 30 responses, so that I will have plenty of time to complete my analysis and draw my final conclusions.
