There were multiple instances where I needed to go back and re\u2013engage with how I was going about my research logically, primarily in the form of how I selected my cases. I was really confused during this meeting as to how to go about this, but Professor Esser was really helpful in suggesting that I look at the difference in the pairs of cities among the variables I had selected for my regression and that should lead me to the two cases that I was going to compare. He also suggested that I could make it stronger by using a mathematical equation to account for the weight of each variable and its difference, but also suggested that it might be a tough hard to complete that with the time left in the semester.
