1. My experience in conducting research in SHS was kind of hard but driven.

Hard in a sense that my group had chosen topic that is new, so we really need to
exert extra effort and time to find things ideas that haven't been tried out, and
solutions that only few of previous researchers have solve yet. On the other hand,
it was totally driven since we are all became persistent towards achieving a goal.
It drives me to keep going even in the face of set-backs, to take up opportunities,
and to show commitment to towards my study. Basically, the wholesome
experience was quiet commendable.

2. As a student, it was never been easy to cope up with rigors of higher

education but due to my past experience in research, I instill in my mind that in
order for me to meet the standards set by my teachers, finding out strategies that
best fit with my interests would be a key to surpass those. Practically,
strategies will serve as our own guidelines specifically in distinguishing our
strengths and weaknesses in learning. For instance, I consider myself as a
strategic learner, someone that is diligent and resourceful in pursuit of a learning
goal and I do not give up easily, even in the face of difficulty because I understand
that learning and studying are active processes largely under their own control.

3. A successful research proposal requires a lot of hard works. It consumes time

and effort. It is done by a step by step process. To make it successful, I came up
with the following tips:

First is choosing an appropriate topic. There are lots of topics to choose

from, topics that we most interested in but we cannot pick right away without
browsing and exploring more of about because we need something that is really
specific to avoid vagueness and lack of clarity. We need to choose the one that
we know we can stay sane and motivated up to the end. Another important
factor in this matter is that we need to choose one that best interest amongst the
group (if it is done by group.)
The second one is the support of RRL (cite enough resources to be
reviewed). We really need to find sufficient amount of related studies and
literature which I found it difficult since we cannot do the "library-hopping"
thing because of this situation we are in right now. And if I'm not mistaken, the
validity of the RRL has a span only of 5 years from the year it was published.
Nevertheless, we can still make use of online resources such as google scholar
and more. RRL is very important for readers to understand key factors clearly.
The third one is the methodology to be used. It will serve a path or a
guideline to us as researchers. We really need to understand that this part of the
study requires wholly suitable for the chosen topic to make our work smooth,
manageable and effective.
The last one is to know how to deal with your data. This part is kind of
stressful because this is where your variables, participants, process types and the
results fall on. You need be really careful to get an accurate result.
