Thinking about research...

This course has provided me with an in-depth explanation of the research process.  I have learned new concepts, such as quantitative and qualitative research.  I have gleaned how to properly conduct research and how to analyze a study for ineffective, improper research methods. I intend to use research techniques such as direct observations, interviewing and sampling to conduct future research. Decreasing bias and analyzing research for bias were challenging. I found that developing self-reflexivity will support me in overcoming bias in research.

I believe as I continue on my education journey my experiences in this course will positively impact my ability to solve problems and answer important questions.  I will continue to learn, ask questions, and seek answers through the research process.
