Getting involved in research can be difficult for students. It is difficult to know how to come up with an idea and how to draft a research proposal. However, research can be easy to start. It is important that when you are doing research that you pick something that interests you. What questions do you have about the world around you? Think about your area of study, hobbies, and interests. Is there anything that you want to learn more about? Are there relationships between variables that you don’t understand? Do you think that there are areas of improvement that could be made in things you are passionate about? This is where research is born.
After you have done some digging, you should come up with an idea, connect with a mentor, and conduct your research.
