What is Research All About?
The research process is a long, tedious task that can be very daunting. The most common question is "Where do I begin? What kind of project can I do?"
It is my experience that most students are "turned off" by the word research. I know I was the first time I started. The two most important things I can advise students to do is:
1. (Keep it Simple Stupid): That doesn't mean KISS your professor in hopes that a "kiss will make it better." Students have brilliant ideas for research and try to have ground-breaking research. Although good ideas, it would take years to do the research you want to do. This of course, would delay graduation.
2. Choose a topic you : That doesn't mean something you LIKE!!! You will be reading, studying, and living this topic for at least a year or more. If you aren't really interested, you will more than likely HATE the process. Therefore, a LOVE/HATE relationship occurs.
