Last but certainly not least in the #DeakinMDSC BBC live sessions for today, @cynforlini is going to countdown her "Top 3 rookie mistakes in research." Join at 3pm through Cloud.
Mistake 1, thinking an idea is to "simple" or "small." Research is iterative and incremental. Together we contribute the small individual pieces to a larger whole/impact. Advice, find the gaps, and you find those by reading, reading, reading.
Number 2 Mistake - a common and big one - underestimating the time something will take! Need to build in flexibility and contingencies into your plan/timeline. Leave extra time for everything!
3: sitting on your draft too long, waiting for them to be 'finished'! @cynforlini laying out truthbombs here. As saying goes, "don't let perfect be the enemy of the good" & don't be afraid of others seeing your work. Progress comes through sharing, if you don't, it doesn't move.
