HOW TO WORK ON THIS ASSIGNMENT (EXAMPLE ESSAY / DRAFT)
Introduction: The purpose of this essay is to reflect on the progress made in developing an idea for a research topic for the capstone, identify obstacles encountered during the process, and outline plans for the next steps towards creating a quality research proposal.
Progress: In the course of developing an idea for a research topic, I have made significant progress. Through class discussions and assigned readings, I have learned about the various methodologies and techniques for conducting research and how they can be applied to my chosen field of study. I have also refined my research question and narrowed down my focus to a specific topic that I am passionate about and believe is important to investigate.
Problems: Despite the progress made, I have also encountered several obstacles in the process of developing my research topic. One of the main challenges I faced was finding credible sources to support my research. Another challenge was determining the feasibility of my research question, as I was unsure about the availability of data and the resources required to conduct the study.
Plans: As the next step in the transition into the capstone process, I plan to reach out to potential mentors and experts in my field of study for guidance and advice. I also plan to continue conducting a thorough literature review to gather more information about my topic and to identify any gaps in existing knowledge that I can fill through my research. Additionally, I will be reaching out to relevant organizations and institutions to gather data and resources for my study.
Conclusion: In conclusion, I have made progress in developing my idea for a research topic and learned valuable lessons from the course. Although I have encountered some obstacles, I am confident that I will overcome them through the support of mentors and experts in my field, as well as continued research and preparation. I am eager to move forward and continue the process of creating a research proposal that meets the criteria for quality.
