Today I would like to talk about a significant experience I needed to conduct extensive research for my thesis during my founding year at university. As a requirement for graduation, every student was expected to write a comprehensive 200-page thesis, which was both exciting and daunting. At that time, we did not have access to artificial intelligence and tools, artificial intelligence tools that could assist in research, so I realized solely on traditional methods to gather information through online search. I embarked on this research journey about formulas before the thesis submission deadline. My chosen topics enter around arbitration in the spirit of resolution, a subject that resonates with my specialization in civil law. The process proved to be quite challenging, taking me a total of four months, with three months entirely devoted to meticulous research on Google. I found myself immersed in this task, seeking effective techniques to streamline my research. At a time when resources were limited, utilizing Google was incredibly beneficial for my research. I learned how to use specific search techniques that allow me to pinpoint exact terms and unearth various case study. I encountered numerous articles authored by prominent arbitrators from around the world, including those based in Vietnam. This vast array of research greatly enriched my understanding of the subject and contributed to a more nuanced view of arbitration practices. Reflecting on that period, I feel an immense sense of right in my accomplishments. I do not only success, but I also hold my information search skills significantly. The guidance of my mentor played a crucial role in this process, helping me navigate the complexities of research. Even now, I vividly recall those nights spent shifting through information on the internet, driven by a determination to excel in academic pursuits.
