Im currently a junior physics major with an average gpa.
I want to continue my education to the graduate level, and in order to better my chances of getting into a good grad school I really need to start focusing on getting some research experience.
I have looked over some of the research one of my professors is involved with and I am, quite frankly, very interested in the topic.
My current plan is to swing by this professor's office during see if there is something I can do.
I expect to get paid, just looking for the experience.
Thats all I need to do, but the whole process seems intimidating. I want to go in there with a good idea of what I am going to say. My counselor didnt offer any helpful insight besides being familiar with the professors research.
How should I prepare?
How should I bring up asking for a research spot?
What qualities would a professor look for in an undergrad for such a position?
If anyone has any insight I would appreciate it.
