Throughout the process of conducting my research for my project I have learned a lot about my topic being the use of social media as a tool for university students but also about myself. I found that my ability to concentrate throughout doing the project was very average. This is mainly due to me not having a lot of motivation because of online learning and not actually being able to interact with other students face to face. I ended up leaving some of my interviews a little late which is why I struggled to find participants for my interviews. Although I lacked a large amount of motivation to do the project, I still found it very useful and helpful in developing my skill set.

I was very interested in doing something to do with social media for my report as it is something I am extremely familiar with and I know other students are. My idea for the focus of my project came from realising how much social media has benefited students in BCM having twitter as a large component embedded within the course as well as many other social media platforms. I was very surprised by some of the results I obtained throughout my research. An example being how many people agreed that they would struggle to complete uni work if they had no access to social media. I think that it would be extremely beneficial to universities if there was more research done on this topic as currently there is not much. Finding out how students feel about social media and what can be done to improve their university experience is something all universities need to consider as we are approaching a world where we cannot function without social media.
