First-Week Introduction
This semester I hope to be able to make an impact with my research! Moreover, I hope to develop my problem-solving skills and ethical awareness. I’m looking forward to publishing my research as well! I’m curious to explore the steps we will take to share our water fair toolkit. Ultimately, this semester I plan to work on gathering a full understanding of topics assigned in class so that I will be prepared.
Midterm Introduction
During this course I feel excited to embark on my research journey. I have gained a greater understanding of what it means to come up with a good dissemination plan. I want to continue developing this skill so that I can become confident in my ability to conduct effective research. This semester I have been reflective and adamant about revising anything that could improve the essence of my research. It can be said that I have already seen myself grow into a more sophisticated researcher through this class.
Final Introduction
Now that the semester is over, I feel that I met my goals, and my worries are gone. I’m confident that I’m able to apply the strategies from this class to the real world. With that being said, this semester I was able to correctly prove why water education benefits K-8 students and publish my research.
