I had a similar experience. I wrote about my responsibilities, what the study was about and concluded that lack of data or inconclusive results are sometimes part of the process.

wowzer, I'm merging your threads about secondary questions into one thread. I don't want the other users to feel that Pre-Allo is getting flooded.

But feel free to continue asking your questions within this thread.

Yes, I think improving quality of care for the underserved is a perfectly appropriate answer.

I haven't filled this out for CASE or Colubmia yet but my answers would be as followed:

4) 10 hours/week - UCB Library Systems Office

5) Computer technician for all campus libraries. Troubleshoot computer problems, both software and hardware, reported by library staff and patrons. Responsible for all public terminal securities. (i had no other jobs but i had a few "volunteer work" which do not belong in this section.)


UPDATE: I just realize there is no section for volunteer/unpaid work. I guess iw ould enter all my unpaid work into #5 since it didn't specify what kind of work is it refering to.
