Evaluation of Research Questions

My research questions are strongly related to my situation and they really interest me. I want to know more about other international student's life and learn more about it. These topic fascinates me because I am in the same situation and I had lot of difficulties in my beginning. All the questions I raised are directly relevant to my discipline and I feel strong about topic. I have lot of knowledge about issue and I feel that I can make a good research. This topic should offer lot of data and it should be pretty easy to get information.


I m writing from international students and I m trying to find out how they are succeed in U.S. college. I also want to see if they were having some sort of difficulties and if they did I want to see what kind of difficulties? This writing is made for all the people who are interested about international students and their education progress. I want that my readers would learn more about their difficulties  therefore they could be more helpful for the upcoming students. I hope I am going to find some common problem what all the international students are going through and how they are going through it. What are the best ways to get through it. I m going to interview few people who are just beginning their studies as international student and also people who are just about graduate. I also try to get lot of information from library and try to collect some journals and books. 

College Life in ISU

I decided to do my researching project about international students. Few questions about this issue could be

-What difficulties they may have?

- How are they succeed?

- How do they feel while studying abroad?

"Researching One in Six Million " & "How I Fell in Love with Post Its"

        Researching one in six millions was interesting article to read. However it was pretty confusion to understand why author wanted to know so much about her grandmother. The article proved that if you don't have great amount of details about individual, you still are able to do great researching. Sometimes it may be really difficult to find any useful details about someone but if you have trust in yourself and put lot of effort you may have some luck. You also have to be patient according to Hilary Selznick text.

      How I fell in love with post its taught some important ways how to begin researching. The text was really metaphoral and it was interesting to read. I think I got couple really useful points from Susana's text and I am probably going to use them in my own researching project.

   these both articles described, how difficult it may be to start researching. The articles taught me, I have to be patient and try to get lot of information from all sort of aspects. It is also important to know, that the project may take lot of time and have to begin it in a good time. I think it was good to read these articles to do better in our own projects.

Linguistic Landscape Project

        In my project, I would create a poster. In the poster, I would take a stance on some really important issue for me. For instance, how important is it to do well in school and how does it benefit people in their future life. Poster would be perfect for this project because it is lot easier to display posters in a college area than some formal papers. Posters transmit the main points easier and they are easy to hand out. It is also much faster to read short posters than long formal papers. Especially if the posters are handed out within the college area. My topic 'importance of school' is pointed for young adults who are just going college at the time. College students should pay attention for the poster because it is really pointed for them.
