I was a bit apprehensive to take this course originally because I am AWFUL with computers. Don’t know a thing about them and I never quite learned how to use excel so its safe to say that I was nervous for this course. However, so far this course has proven to be really helpful. I seriously enjoy the homework readings, especially Thyne. This past week we read about how to form a research question, work it into the introduction, went over how to conduct a literature review, and come up with a theory and a hypothesis. I am hoping to use this to help create my National Security thesis and my Capstone for International Studies. For my national Security thesis I am interested in finding out more about why it doesn’t seem like the United States follows international law and why it can get away with breaking international rules without many repercussions.
