Abstract
Think back to when you began your research project. In all likelihood, you wanted to do research because you were intrigued by or eager about something.

But soon you developed a definite problem that you were working on, with the intention of making a contribution to your field.

Notes
- 1.
This is a good place to remind you that my descriptions of research are to some extent fictionalized. That is, except where a citation is given, I have used real students and research questions, but have altered the research descriptions in ways that I feel preserves their ‘feel’ while making them both anonymous and more accessible to a general reader.
