I think this is great because it is very useful transferable skill in such a rapidly growing world of technology. I also like that my work wasn&#8217;t graded\u2014removing the pressure of grades allowed me to enjoy my work even more. Furthermore, my work is taken outside of academia and seen by a larger, more varied audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"to-future-participants\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">To Future Participants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I-CUREUS is a great idea for those planning on doing an honours thesis or a master&#8217;s degree. This opportunity will help you know what to expect and prepare you for the work. It&#8217;s great for developing your skills and networking with people in in your field. My recommendation for future participants is to have a plan\/idea going in of what you want to work on. Also, knowing how to manage your time properly and be self-disciplined with your work is crucial for your success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aaliyah Strachan Reason For Participating I thought this would be an interesting, fun, and new experience for me and my studies.
