Reflection

"In the space below, explain what you learned about this process as you conducted background research and refined your topic. What was the most difficult part of the process and how was it difficult for you? What part of the process did you find most helpful and why? "

This brainstorming task was very interesting and enjoyable for me. I have started with my selected topic and researched some useful resources where I could learn some aspects of the topic. So I learned from this process how to use brainstorming to get the flow of ideas. Once I learned about the topic and all the aspects of the topic, a flow of ideas and questions come to my mind. First almost ten types of questions came to my mind. It was confusing me that what number of questions I should include in my research question worksheet. I conducted the analysis of all of these questions. Some of questions found were not open ended, so I dropped them out. Some of the questions were broad in their span and they would make the research topic a wide one and the research on the topic would become very tough to manage in short because the number of variables in that case would be high. So I dropped out some questions of this type. In the end I came up with four questions presented in the above table.

The most helpful part of the process was the research process and brainstorming which gave me lot knowledge about the topic and given a lot of ideas. The most difficult part of the assignment was the screening process. The screening process took lot of time as I initially did not know how to screen the questions for a research topic. I had to learn the screening process and criteria before I could practically do the screen of the questions that I had developed through brainstorming process.
