My idea of a researcher has changed throughout the last couple of weeks, due to what I have learned in this course. When I started my coursework, I thought being a researcher was just conducting research and writing about it, I was not aware of all of the skills that are needed in being a researcher. I have been looking at my schedule to try and identify places where I can work independently on my research, I have realized that I will need to put myself on a pretty strict schedule.
