What have been the major obstacles you have faced in putting a research project together?
I found the methodology component tricky, as it felt like a lot of jargon. This meant that I misunderstood components for the first essay, which was reflected in my grade. Moreover, I found it hard at times to figure out what methodology was used by historians in their articles and books. However, I feel that I’ve got to grips with it now.
In addition, I found a lot of the theoretical approaches to my subject quite dry, which made it a chore to study. Nonetheless, I recognise the importance to theory in maintaining originality to my research question.
