Back to School

So, I've started my first class in SPEA course: Public Program Evaluation.

Believe it or not, I've never taken a research course. It's just not something that ever interested me, so I seemed to always manage to skirt around it. I cracked open the textbook for the class yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the tone of the author. The way he introduces research really drew me in: "This book is about knowing things--not so much what we know as how we know it."

I guess at this point in my career (life?) I'm ready to really explore the "how" of what we know. I can honestly say I'm looking forward to this class.
