One of the most enlightening aspects of engaging with my peers’ blogs is the broad array of topics that fellow students are delving into. Each blog becomes a window into a different facet of academic inquiry, providing me with a panoramic view of the various research landscapes within our cohort. This exposure has expanded my horizons, challenging me to consider alternative perspectives and themes that I may not have initially explored. 

What has perhaps been most helpful for me though has been engaging in discussions with my peers on my provisional project topic. By opening up my ideas to critique and debate, I’ve been able to identify the strengths and weaknesses of my argument. This dialectical process has encouraged me to delve deeper into areas where my understanding was initially limited, prompting further research and bolstering the robustness of my project’s foundation. 

Furthermore, presenting my provisional topic to other students has been a revealing experience. Observing their initial thoughts and reactions has provided me with a valuable gauge of the potential reception of my project within the academic community. This has allowed me to anticipate and address potential criticisms, ensuring that my project is not only well-researched but also resonates with the broader discourse in my field.
