One thing I learned from chapter 1 is to assess my strengths and weaknesses. Once I have an idea about what my research project will require, I need to decide which areas will cause me the most trouble. By doing this at the beginning, I can decide to devote more time to those areas or steps of the project. I can also seek additional resources, such as interviews, meetings with my professor, or additional services from the library to help me with the areas that I know will be most difficult. I should factor in extra time for those areas in case there is a problem such as writer’s block or procrastination. As long as I set up a timeline and seek help in areas that I feel weak, I would be able to overcome those challenges and be successful.
