WRITING SKILLS: The rigors of conducting good research have honed my competencies in research proposal and reporting writing.

--I received an "A" for my research proposal.

--My research report was handed out in class as an example of how a research report should be written.

LOGICAL THINKING SKILLS: Training in research methodology has finely tuned my inductive and deductive reasoning. These powers of critical thinking are vital for optimal problem solving in any business situation:

--survey research

--experimental research

--library research

--how to use computer packages to analyze data

ORAL PRESENTATION SKILLS: To speak about research effectively I had to make the complex sound simple, the technical sound basic. To speak convincingly about research I had to be a good salesperson.

--I presented an experimental report at a regional psychology conference.
