Research isn't so scary...

I'm really beginning to understand that researching at the Master's level, while challenging, is entirely doable and NOT as intimidating as I thought it might be. Once you learn where to look, how to structure a viable research question and develop a effective working process, it's rather easy. Maybe easy isn't the right word, but definitely something we CAN do. Learning how to ask questions or to seek help from the faculty is a must; often, we're scared of what we don't know, and when speaking to my classmates, it seems most are afraid of having to write at this level. Rather than worrying, it's best to ask for help or direction, and to read as many scholarly articles as possible in order to get a feel for what is expected of Master's students.
