Research: A punishment for grad school students

I'm taking this research class right now as part of my graduate program at Utah State. It is probably one of the most torturous classes I have ever taken part of. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about education, but this class has just pushed me over the edge. It's a 3 hour class, once a week, on how to conduct, write, and critique research. If I could grant every reader one wish, I would wish that they would never have to take this class as long as they live! agh. However, in all situations there is always something to be learned. Here are 5 things I've learned at least so far...

1) I never want to get my Doctorate
2) I will never let a professor take my research and use it as an example, no matter how good I think it is!
3) No matter how many parental opinions I hear, I will not believe that Autism is caused by immunizations until they have reliable studies to back it up.
4) You can't believe what you hear on the news.
5)Even a baby in the womb can become board in a research class!
