Adjusting Perspective: Revising Your Research Aims for the Present Moment

======================================================

As winter break approaches, students are gearing up for a much-needed break from their studies. However, for many research-based students, the reading period during winter break can be a source of both excitement and anxiety.

In a recent article published in the Junior Paper (JP), student Emily Clark, who studies Psychology, shares her love-hate relationship with the fall reading period. The article, titled "A Love-Hate Relationship with Fall Reading Period", offers tips and tricks for staying productive during winter break.

Clark expresses her concerns about the endless nature of research and the ease with which one can lose track of goals and accomplishments. She explains that taking time to reorient oneself during break can help ensure that one doesn't get lost in their research.

The article also addresses the importance of summarising one's achievements during the semester and submitting reports, as required by some departments, such as the Electrical Engineering Department. The report serves as a means to convey experiences, good and bad, to others, and to help students reorient themselves and remember their goals and progress.

Clark's article is part of the archives of the Junior Paper (JP) blog, which can be found in "our blog Archives". For students who are unsure of a conclusive midway point in their research, or who are questioning what they have done this semester and how far they have come towards their goals, the article provides valuable insights and advice.

In summary, the article serves as a reminder that while the fall reading period can be challenging, it is also an opportunity to reflect on one's progress and to set goals for the future. With the right mindset and strategies, students can make the most of the reading period and use it as a stepping stone towards their academic success.

Winter break is a time for rest and relaxation, but it can also be a time for productivity and growth. By following the tips and tricks offered in Emily Clark's article, students can stay on the grind during winter break and make the most of their time off.
