Those of you considering research as a profession should read this
book for two reasons: it demonstrates the steps of academic research
(many books do this), and it prepares you mentally for research (this
is the best book I've ever seen on this issue).
I define research as the systematic pursuit of curiosity. Research is
fundamentally no different from other kinds of work. A business
person employs the same energy and creativity as any scientist. We
both focus on our customers (we call them our audience in academia).
We both prepare ourselves to succeed. Preparation involves skills and
attitude.
This is a book I wish I had read, or better, had a mentor explain to
me when I was in high school. I embarked on my research career late
in life. Don't repeat my mistakes. Discuss with your instructors what
attitudes, mental preparedness, skills and knowledge are required in
research. You will meet wonderful professors through such conversations. |
