Research Project Expectations
Upon realizing we would be doing a research project, I developed an anxious feeling because I had never been involved in a research project. I expected the process to present me with notable challenges. I was particularly concerned about where I would get the necessary information to complete my project. Irrespective of my feelings, I was excited that the project would equip me with the required skills to carry out my future writing project. As I came to understand later, my concerns about gathering relevant data to guide my project were the most challenging aspect of the research project. With the help of my friend and classmates, I got exposed to various online databases. The latter ideology made a vital contribution in improving my writing skills. Among the most vital research writing skills I gained through undertaking the project is how to incorporate MEAL writing strategy in my works. The latter strategy requires students to have a clear thesis, transition sentences, and a sentence connecting ideas discussed in the paragraph to the thesis statement. The skilled I gained by carrying out the research exposed me to project tackling skills. I thus feel I will be handling my future project without experiencing challenges like I did in my first project.
