Definitely challenging, but worth it if you have a passion for research. If you are interested in industry research or masters degrees, good idea to do this. writing a proposal does take a lot of practise and patience since the writing is very formulaic. I feel like I have improved a lot in my writing over the term. worth it. (dont gauge my writing-ability based on this comment, im not trying haha)

Part 1 of 2 of your undergraduate thesis. Can't really evaluate the course until you complete both KIN 431 and KIN 432.
