I know this is a dumb question but I am kind of in a weird position and googling "what is research" does not lead to the most helpful results. So I am currently graduating from UofT from Medical Radiation Science(MRS) which is a 3 year degree that trains you to be a medical radiation technologist(Medical Imaging). The program's courses are super focused on the career and not really general science or math. This program is structured very similarly to nursing how the courses are very specific to the profession.

I have a decent gpa (3.7) which I know is not the greatest but I plan to complete the prerequisite courses as a non-degree student. In many medschool applications, there is an emphasis on doing research but like, what is it. Is it something I do while in school (in my undergrad or masters or something)? Do I apply online like a job? Do I do it on my own and hope someone publishes it? Do I need to discover something/have a scientific finding? Do I just summarize a bunch of articles to prove a point? What is it and how do I get started?

I am planning to apply to a program that needs only one year of university education. My first year marks were not the strongest due to the confusion of online learning and missing important assignments which lowered my mark a lot. I was wondering if I am allowed to have a full semester of just retaken courses to improve my cGPA?

I was on amazon and I never built a pc before but want to get into pc gaming. My goals for the pc are to maintain 144 fps on games such as rainbow 6, fortnite, etc. I saw a pc for $1100 CAD which is equal to $830 USD. This is what the pc is called and the main specs of it:

“CyberpowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8060A7 Gaming PC (Intel i5-9400F 2.9GHz 8GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 6GB, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, 802.11AC WiFi)”.

Is this pc worth the $1100CAD/830USD or could I build a better pc with that budget?
