Week 1

My experience with reasearch is vague and it was a long time ago. I had no idea there were so many types of methodologies.
Since my background is in Literature, my experience with literature was basically finding what has been written about writers and poems and state my won opinion as well.

I knew that there was positivistic reseacrh. I did not know it was called that, plus I thought it was only used in Science.
To be honest, I have been scared of conducting any type of research in which I have to use math skills and create graphs, percentages etc. Perhaps that is the only thing that scares me about my dissertation.

I believe that reseach is any type of study that leads to new learning and to new information. I do not have any strict idea of what research should be. For me, is you search and find, it is research.

I'm hopingto find some type of research method that has to do with less math as the usual scientific research. I lean more towards the phylosophical type of writing.
