Choosing a Right FIELD of Research - Unambitious Student Syndrome
Every year I ask students to begin their research by finding their favourite field. Most of the time, I spend around 2 MONTHS (yes, 2 months) trying to CONVINCE the students that DO NOT start a Lab Research - start a Review Research Paper. In my opinion a TOP Quality Review Research Paper can be done in a span of 3 days.
- First day = 3-5 hours = search the area of your favourite Field of Inquiry
- 1st and Second day = 5-6 hours = identify the Top Papers in your research field.
- 2nd and 3rd day = Collect all the info in your Word Document and also list the links to the latest and earlier Research BOOKS + Articles.
- End of 3rd Day = submit your finding to me for guidance for approval of topic.
But who cares about an Old Man's Plea?
What is the main deterrent year-after-year of students FAILING to submit their Research TOPIC at the beginning of their Application Season?
- Students FANTASIZE that their Research should look like a LAB research Paper.
- They often think that their research will COMPLETELY Change the World. Phew!!!
- They are Physically INCAPABLE to work in Early Morning and continue throughout the day.
- The time they start SEARCHING the Research Area, it is already 12 pm or 1 pm and that's the end.
- They often SUFFER from Cold and Physical Weakness. So, academic AGGRESSIVENESS is for EVER MISSING in their attitude.
- The KEEP their ROOM and DOOR shut, and take this Freedom of Seclusion to KILL time.
- They are UNABLE to work in OPEN space under the scrutinizing EYES of a guide or parental care.
- They don't either Eat Well, or SLEEP Well, or Drink Well. Some even don't bath well. Or even a few don't even Moshari well.
- And they believe that their caregivers (Parents/Teachers/Guides/Peers) are their Filthiest Enemies.
- Submit RESEARCH proposals within next 3 days.
