I didn’t really gather much about my writing from reading other people’s research proposals, but it was most certainly inspiring from a project idea point of view. It’s always amazing to see what different things people come up with given the same assignment. I went a little bit more medical with my idea, whereas one that I read focused on analyzing waste water. It definitely reminds me to keep an open mind about things and learn to ask other people for their input and ideas more because they will definitely think about something that I never would have. Hence, the value of peer reviewing! Someone always comes up with something that you missed.
