During my time at University X, I led a project investigating the impact of social media on mental health. My role involved designing the study, collecting data, and analyzing the results. I collaborated with a team of five, ensuring all research protocols were followed and presenting our findings at a student conference. This experience honed my research skills and taught me the importance of meticulous data collection and analysis.

I prioritize tasks based on their urgency and impact. Using tools like Trello, I create a visual board with all project tasks, categorizing them into 'high priority', 'medium priority', and 'low priority'. This helps me focus on critical tasks first while ensuring that less urgent tasks are not neglected. Regular check-ins with my supervisor also help in adjusting priorities as needed.

I am familiar with both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. In a previous project, I applied qualitative methods such as interviews and focus groups to gather in-depth insights from participants. For quantitative analysis, I used surveys and statistical tools like SPSS to analyze data. This dual approach provided a comprehensive understanding of the research topic.

I approach challenges with a problem-solving mindset. For instance, when faced with data collection issues, I quickly adapted by refining my sampling techniques and increasing the sample size to ensure data validity. I also seek guidance from mentors and peers, leveraging collective wisdom to overcome obstacles. This proactive approach helps in maintaining project momentum and achieving research objectives.

Ensuring ethical conduct is paramount in research. I adhere to ethical guidelines by obtaining informed consent from participants, ensuring confidentiality, and avoiding any form of coercion. I also conduct research in a transparent manner, documenting all procedures and decisions. Regular consultations with the ethics committee help in maintaining high ethical standards throughout the project.
