WANTED – IDEAS – Please make one. (or More)
Ideas wanted; and not just any ideas but ideas for research. That is the challenge for Research Project (RP) students, right now.
In the near future the RP Teaching Team will help students to turn one of the ideas into a Research Proposal. But, for now, each student needs some ideas. Looking too far ahead may even see good ideas rejected, too soon.
STUDENTS
• More ideas are better than just one at this stage.
• This is your project, you are free to work in any area you desire
• Who else may be interested in your idea? The fact your idea may have an
audience is powerful.
PARENTS
• This is good dinner conversation stuff
• Some conversation starters: current events, dreams for the future, or
some questions; What have you achieved? or What do you love doing? and What needs fixing in the world?
We have nearly sixty hours of class time until the end of the Semester.
Ideas will be shaped, reviewed, discussed and developed before an outcome is achieved. Then the whole process will be reflected upon. That is the Research Project; where the journey is far more important than the destination.
