At the beginning of this course I was nervous knowing that I would have to be writing a grant or research proposal. It was overwhelming to say the least however, I was ready to tackle this course.

After viewing Dr. Banerji's video it was a thorough discussion of what Research Methodology entailed and broken up into parts. This was a sense of relief because it offered a structured part into the research process. I learned about the important characteristics of research which entailed controlled, rigorous, systematic, valid and verifiable, empirical, and critical aspects.

After viewing Dr. Rockis' videos it thoroughly explained the process of writing a grant. I learned that the "meat" or "heart" of the grant is the executive summary. At times that is the only part that is read when foundations have many entries and they have to go through many of them to be able to choose the awarded one. In addition, to the numerous tips Dr. Rockis addresses in writing a well written grant proposal that will stand a chance of being awarded. After, viewing the videos I felt comfortable writing a grant and take with me tips for my future as a librarian where they will become handy.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that the process was not overwhelming considering that it was an in-depth research proposal. The way Dr. Gross layer out the process which took us step by step, it gave us an opportunity to really gain insights of the process and what it entailed. It was not overwhelming as in the beginning of the course because it was paced in a timely manner. I was able to write a research proposal that offered the in-depth methods it entailed.

I really enjoyed the breakdown to writing the research or grant proposal. I enjoyed the time given to really thoroughly go through each section and dedicate time to each section. The literature review was the most intensive part of the research process since I found it difficult condensing 10 sources into one piece of literature. However, once I sorted them out and found a common interest I was able to piece it together. It sounds overwhelming however, with adequate examples it made it quite easy to navigate and construct my own literature review. It really helped that we dedicated time to each part of the process starting with the electronic databases search and then condensing them together for the literature review.

The methods section is the methods that will be utilized to collecting the data in your research or grant proposal. The process was easier with utilizing the survival guide provided by Dr. Gross. This step was easier knowing that we already had the sources and literature review and choosing the best way for our process by collecting the data was not so difficult. There are numerous ways of collecting data. As you write your proposal you will choose which one works best for your data collection.

I have gained knowledge that will help me for the future as a librarian. I know walking into a library media program it will have its challenges. I have gained resources needed to make it successful. I will definitely put the knowledge into writing grants and gaining funds to enhance my library as a future librarian. The process offered in-depth, step-by-step, and through explanations of both the research and grant proposal process that I will take with me. Thank you, Dr. Gross!! I have learned so much from you!
