Research Paper vs a Thesis?

That is the question, whether to do a Research Paper or a Thesis? I have a couple of Research questions that would result in very interesting subject matter and have started to put a structure together on paper - my mantra for this work is to get it down somewhere on paper and out of my head! On the other hand, I am implementing a training program at work which in itself would make for a great thesis. After reading several of my cohorts blogs it looks as though I am not the only one having trouble deciding. I'll be back soon to post some of my info graphs that will make up the framework for a Research Paper if I go that route. I will also post some of the training strategies that I have put together for work along with the plan of how we are going to implement what we say we are going to do. Might give you some ideas as well.

Collaboration

What a week this has been! Lots of assignments due and my group has been a joy to work with thus far! The major concern throughout the group is time management because we all have full lives. I really liked how our charter came together and outlined our group values along with how we are going to manage difficulties. We have agreed that we will collaborate throughout this process, define roles appropriately, be accountable, reach our goals, pick up the slack where needed - hence our slogan "Life Happens". 

It's nice to feel as though you have a net. I am grateful to be working with the BIGs for the first Unit.
