This whole process has kind of been eye opening. The main thing I’ve taken from the process is that things don’t always go according to plan when it comes to research. The project I conducted had many compromises due to the nature of the study; having no lab equipment to work with really did change how I approached this study. For example I had to look at average weights of tide pools vs individual samples due to limitations in measurement. This project has made me appreciate how much work goes into ecological studies. It has given me practice in application of research techniques that I believe will be useful in future research.
Thank you Nancy for all your help throughout the course!
Great post and reflections!
