In the future, I would love to make a meaningful contribution by conducting studies which improve current treatment approaches and promote wellness. This will require sharpening my critical thinking and research skills and also require that I keep abreast of current developments in my field of study. Good research builds upon the previous research of others and never starts from scratch. This is why a comprehensive literature review is an important part of any research study. Most research is a team effort.
Learning how to communicate effectively with fellow scholars has been an important part of this course for me. Good research is almost never conducted in…
