Undergraduate Research Assistant

June - December 2021 • Wichita, KS

What I liked

I liked how I can do the research and collaborate with faculty member and learn something new. Because doing research is all about being lost in the unknown, being able to puzzle up bits and pieces of missing information, and do something remarkable. I also liked how patient my faculty member was while I was getting used to doing new things like literature review, writing and analyzing the code written.

What I wish was different

I wish I has been more proactive - I tend to depend too much on the faculty member for research. I also wish that I had ended my project in the end of summer 2021 instead of rolling it over till winter break 2021 so I can spend more time on my fall classes without the research jeopardizing my ability to focus on both things - school and work - at the same time.

Advice

Get out there, put yourself out there. There is no reason to be afraid of doing research. Pick a topic that you like the most, and try to negotiate with your faculty member with the justification of why your topic makes the most sense to research. Allocate a realistic amount of hours per week to complete the research work. Most importantly, have fun!
