Research papers take a lot of time and effort, and one hopes it will be a great learning experience. When deciding on my research paper topic as a computer science major, I initially wanted to begin my capstone at the start of my senior year, but didn’t begin it until my final semester.
My research topic originated from my senior seminar class I that took on ChatGPT. As you are probably aware, ChatGPT is a popular website that many people enjoy using. In my seminar class, I concentrated on the impact of ChatGPT, the architecture it is built on, and how it came to be. For my project, I wanted to take this topic a step further. Despite the fact that the website has sparked a lot of security and educational concerns, I wanted to use it to make websites more accessible.
Many people believe that this tool is not useful because it provides most of the answers, whether the question is about history or how to make a website. This tool can solve the problem and provide the answer, but using the tool to benefit you is a skill that only a few have mastered.
This capstone project focused on the enhancement of a website and how to make it more user-friendly. I examined the CSI website to see how it could be improved, and I found that the only thing missing was a bot that could direct students to the proper location or provide them with the necessary information. Our college website has a lot of pages and information, and students frequently have trouble navigating it.
Another part of this project was researching how to do it. Since ChatGPT has been out for a little while and still improving, there were not a lot of resources on how to approach this problem. I found some YouTube videos and the open AI documentation aspect of this project to help my research. The most enjoyable aspect of my project was coding the server-side code, which was implemented as a chatbot. With the resources provided, I found it to be quite simple to follow along.
I wish I had started my project earlier or had more time to complete it. If I were to give some general advice to students undertaking a research project, it would be to start planning early. If you leave it to the last semester of your college career, you will be under a lot of pressure to complete everything in a rush. It is better to start early and give yourself plenty of time to go through the research process, find the right resources, and learn thoroughly.
Research projects are an opportunity to learn new material and challenge yourself. They can be a highlight of your college experience, and you might learn something you never thought possible.
