What to look out for when deciding on a mock research topic for a research methods?

I just want some pointers.

Didn't want to pay $100 for a book, so I bought a shadow of the book for $20. Turns out I need the actual book after all.

I think about 10% of the contents are available unless I get it through the front door...

Why do they have to be so expensive?

The last five pages of the chapter and five minutes of the lecture drops my productivity to near zero

What would you guess to be the underlying cause for this?

Or even suggesting a general reason for this would help me. As soon as I see I am almost done, I can't stop procrastinating, even though I have other textbooks and assignments to get to.

Babble about next semester and research method

In the upcoming semester I'll be taking the research method - applied social statistics combo. And, I may be underprepared as previous courses involved rushing through pages understanding bare minimum amount to produce multiple okay papers that satisfy professors who have low expectations from students of current times. I can display further evidences that justify why I'm overwhelmed and prove I am indeed underprepared. Instead, I urge you to just believe me. Trust me. I can use some help. I'm scraping desperately for any help I can get. For social statistics, I got to study ahead of time. I don't know how I should prepare for research method. What should I do?

chem 101 level question about cumbustion reaction and molar mass equation.

Hi I'm 2 years old please don't judge me for asking obvious question.

The question concerns predicting the mass of water when there is 20g of propane.
But how is predicting water mass only using one unit of the equation? what about the other substance involved in this reaction like oxygen and carbon? Isn't equation about propane and oxygen producing carbon and water and not propane producing water?

What does this mean from the Embarrassment and Social Organization by Goffman?

I'm sorry, as this may be more of a grammar question than a sociology question.

So, can Airlock solve the fruit fly problem?

As the title goes, I've been having these little flying annoyances getting up in my face ever since I started fermenting. Upon researching ways to combat this, I found that I can either install a fly trap with vinegar and soapy water or start using airlocks (or both, I guess). Would this end my struggle finally of Is there a better options? And what kinda of airlock should I get if I get them for my mason jars

Would you reccomend trying this sweet potato ferment recipe?

  • 5 pounds sweet potatoes, with any surface dirt rinsed off, sliced very thinly
  • 1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 tsp. cayenne powder
  • 3-4 Tbsp. sea salt

I found it online and I can't tell if it'll worth trying. I hesitate to pass only because I already have the ingredients. Should I do something better or give it a try? How would it even taste?

What would be a good guide for a meditation file?

I used to follow this guide before heading to the library, and though I didn’t recognize any noticeable differences then, I can see retrospectively that following this simple guide daily made a meaningful difference in terms of focus and, more specifically, in the sense that I had fewer monkeys in my brain.
I’m thinking of adding meditation back to my daily routine.
If you guys have other recs for audio/video, I would love to give them a try. 

Also, maybe using meditation as a productivity tool goes against its actual purpose, but I think what actually happened was it made me more mindful, and as a byproduct, helped me study better.
Along the same lines, if I meditate every day to study better, I can be more mindful as a byproduct, if that makes sense?

Going out of town for two days what should I do?

I just got into fermenting so I rely exclusively on burping and I'm still learning how to fully submerge the ingredients. I have kraut ginger but and tomatoes. Should I (1) leave it in the fridge in low coldness setting and bring then out when I come back? (2) give up, or (3) dont worry about it since its only two days?
