September: Week 1 (9/14-9/18)
September: At this point, I am working on my literature review. I’m reading to get a better sense of what research questions I would like to address in my study, and how to conceptualize a practical interest within a theoretical context. So that’s difficult right now!
Challenges: My current challenge is learning how to read articles in an efficient way. I get overwhelmed just thinking about the mountain of articles that I have to read. I also get distracted easily.
Needed support: I’d like some feedback on how to read and take notes efficiently. What are some things I should look for in an article? What should I skim/skip? What’s the average amount of time I should spend on an article? Also, what are some things that you do to stay focused while reading?
