It feels good to contribute something good

After overseeing the student researchers' presentations, I'm thinking about how hard they've worked on their qualitative research. Today is the second day of their defense, where their work gets carefully examined. As I looked through their projects, I noticed a lot of mistakes that need fixing. There are many errors in their research that need to be corrected. Also, they didn't include enough information in their literature reviews and studies. I told most of them to add more. Surprisingly, many students didn't include the data analysis for Chapter 3, which is an important part of their research. Besides asking them questions, I also gave them suggestions on how to improve. Getting feedback like this can be tough, but it's important for them to learn and grow as researchers. I hope these discussions will help them not just with their current projects, but also in future research.

I am sure it will. Sometimes you have to have seemingly hard conversations, but it's always worth it.

Absolutely, Kayla. Those tough conversations are often the most valuable ones. It's through these discussions that researchers can identify areas for enhancement and refine their skills.

Do you have them provide hypotheses for possible quantitative research near the end of their papers?

Yes, we provided them with ideas for it. The suggestion actually came from another panelist.
