Classes so far....

I found today's class the most insightful so far because of the interaction between the students. I think that the way the class room has been set up, with us facing each other, really allows students to give input to each other and learn from each other. This has been true in my case. I came into today's class really struggling because I had absolutely no idea what topic I would do my research project on. I was most worried about this class because of all the things I would be doing on this one topic. I kept thinking to myself, "What topic could I choose that wouldn't bore me to death and I would actually enjoy doing all these projects on?" I came to the decision when Emma brought up the topic of sleep. I really enjoy dream analysis and I love learning about it. It sounds pretty dumb but I love reading the articles in Cosmo magazine about dream analysis. I mean, I understand they probably don't have the most educated in the subject reporting for them about dream analysis, especially when the only dreams they analyze are about guys or things related to that, but still. I read those articles and I can really see where they are coming from and I thought to myself today how much I would love to really understand the topic in depth. My minor is psychology so I feel like I might be studying this topic down the road anyway so I might as well get a head start to understanding how people think, right?

I also learned while reading Creswell all of the different types of research that there are. I won't go over my perspectives on those kinds again, since I did for a little in my last post, but I think that I am going to find this textbook very resourceful.
