Challenge FAQs
Challenge FAQs
Who is eligible to participate in the challenge? Any faculty who wish to do so!
What if I write for two hours one day? Can this count for more than one day? Can I enter a 2 instead of a 1 in the tracking document? As long as you write for at least 30 minutes a day you can enter a 1 in the tracking sheet. If you write for more than 30 minutes a day this will not count extra (but good for you!)
Does data collection and analysis count? What about preparing for a conference presentation? This is truly a writing challenge. You must actually write for at least 30 minutes (can be in conjunction with your analysis).
Do I have to write M-F? Not necessarily. There are seven buffer days built into this challenge. Life happens. You can write on one of these buffer days if needed. Just keep in mind the challenge will end on March 31st.
