Research skills
As an MA student, I did not know anything about research. Of course, if you have not conducted any research, you would not know what it looks like. That's why we need to study at graduate programs...right? Yes. But finding an optimal way to do research is a constant struggle at any stages, even after an MA and may it will continue to be like this. Here I share some of my strategies in daily research activities. The aim is to organize my thoughts on what I am doing and share it with others in hope that they will help someone...

2. Identifying a micro-topic (key terms)
