INTRODUCTIONS



Hello, my name is Oghogho Lila Eka and I am currently in my second year, studying Health Informatics. The majority of my work in university so far has involved research, but most of the time I feel like I am not doing it properly. That's why I decided to take this course; I want to learn the most efficient ways to conduct research.

I have always been interested in creative writing, even though I chose not to pursue it as a career, it is still something I love to do and I would love to be able to use the knowledge I gain from this course in anything I write from now on. The only information management software I have ever used is Ref-works Honestly, it did not work very well for me at first, but I did learn to use it properly after a while. 

Last year for one of my classes, I had to do some research on the most recent technological breakthroughs in medicine, and I remember feeling completely overwhelmed because of the amount of information I got. It took me a while to sort everything and actually write my report. Hopefully, after this class, I won't face problems like that anymore. I have no experience at all with radio or pod-casting so I am feeling a bit intimidated by the assignment, but I'm also excited to try something new.

For the course project, I am considering just one of the podcasts right now, which is on the media. There were several stories and scandals that were reported by the media all over the world late last year, I would like to analyse at least one of them very carefully and see what interesting details I can uncover. I look forward to participating in this course and getting a very good grade.
