Overall I am looking forward to this assignment, and I am excited to hopefully gain some knowledge in a subject of interest. I think it is a unique opportunity to learn, a class rarely offers you the chance to apply your learning like this. I have never done anything like this, which comes with equal amounts of excitement and nerves. I am yet to decide what I will do my research over. I honestly think this will be one of the biggest challenges. Finding a research topic that has sufficient data and one that I am interested in learning more about could prove to be difficult. Then of course with an assignment of this magnitude, there are always concerns about putting together a quality product. Hopefully, though I start on it early and can peacefully work through it. The worst thing I can do is overwhelm myself with a lot of work as the deadline approaches.

Yep, and if you start off with a topic that doesn’t work well, you can always change and/or pivot.
