- As we moved through this course, you were asked to complete various portions of research: proposal, outlines, annotated bibliography, and the research itself. These were designed to facilitate the process of learning about research and the steps that could/should be undertaken in order to stay organized and moving forward in the writing. Which did you find most beneficial to your progress? Overall, what surprised you the most about the research process?
Most beneficial was the first assignment where it really forced me to investigate analyze what I want to present and what approach needs to take in order to get the reader’s attention. The first week was really challenging since I have a mix of ideas and thoughts that at one point was difficult to put them in order but with the lectures and readings, I was able to organize them and present it. What surprise me the most about the research process is the importance of playing with key words and how to narrow the subject to have a successful search, it all depends how I use critical words and characteristics to find the right article, for me this was something essential in the entire process.
