Today is the first day back after mid-term.
In this class we focused on our research projects again.
I decided to change the direction of my research project to “the pressure of exams on Irish students”
after getting feedback from Julie and Geraldine I felt that this was a better topic to do for my research project.
I started to research different articles and began filling out my secondary research form with my sources and references.
This got me started on my research project and I was able to gather lots of information.
I used the note taking skills that we learned in class in the first couple of weeks in college and this helped so much.
During my research I found a lot of useful information for my project.
I found many articles about Irish students under stress during examinations in the leaving certificate.
I also found that many of the stresses of the students taking leaving certificate examinations many of the articles stated that stress and mental health problems are related to this.
I want to do more research to find out how many students are effected by stress and mental health in Ireland while taking exams.
While I was doing my research I used the online internet researching technique that we learned in the first few classes for research and study skills.
I feel that I have found a lot of useful information for my project but I will need to look at many different sources to make sure that the information I am gathering is correct.
