1. The most helpful document that I came across while conducting my research was an article titled “Family Characteristics and Intergenerational Conflicts over the Internet” by Gustavo S. Mesch. This article helped me form the basis of my research question as well as provided a fairly loose outline as to how I should progress with my research. It touched on topics that were related to my research question as well as opened it up to new questions that I previously didn’t think about. It’s a great read too.
2. The most helpful feedback would definitely be the peer reviews.. but not so much the first one. Everyone was still being too nice to give any good criticism. After the class about how hard we should grade them, they became a much more helpful tool. I’m sure these anonymous reviews will help out a lot as well. It’s easier being tough on a piece of literature when the person you’re correcting won’t know who you are.
3. The most difficult process for me was refining my research question. I had a rough one laid out at the beginning of the semester that changed focus a couple times back and fourth. Eventually settling on a topic was the best feeling though. Having a solid topic that I could then do research on made things so much easier.. no more second-guessing myself!
4. I think my lit review showcases my ability as a writer the best. For me, having set outlines to follow is so much easier than going off on my own tangent. And to have a section where research on existing topics has to be completed and organized is a perfect fit for me.
