"The overall process outlined in the course provided us with a new perspective on academic research. Admittedly, most of us had trouble understanding how the deliverables would contribute to the overall course in the first few weeks, but by week 3-4, we began to uncover the merits of the systematic approach. Throughout this graduate program, we have never been asked to develop a methodology in conjunction with the research process. After learning both the challenges and rewards of this undertaking, we would be remiss if this approach wasn’t replicated in our professional careers. The remaining portion of this paper will be dedicated to describing our process throughout the project, what we came away with, and the lessons learned along the way."

"Academia prides itself on scholarly research, and that’s perfectly fine. However, sometimes professors would emphasize this notion to the point where it becomes unwieldy and is counterproductive to the student’s goals. In this course, our team learned how to efficiently extract knowledge in a manner more in line with how it would be conducted in the business world. A far cry from many other courses we took where we were hamstrung from performing our duties at full efficiency because of constraints that were put into place. In this course we could really get our creative juices flowing in what was more similar to a workplace environment rather than a classroom."
