My personal preference for my research process begins by reading the instructions of the assignment thoroughly. This is residual effect of having been tricked once during a test in middle school. During her instructions, the teacher mentioned several times that we need to read the test instructions and all the questions thoroughly before starting. However, as I was concerned with the time allocated for the test, I skimmed through the instructions and began writing. Well, turns out it was a one of those tests that the last question instructed to just write your name in the first page and hand it in. Lesson learned, the hard way of course. Consequently, I always begin every test, project and assignment by reading all the instructions, twice, before I ever begin the task that is being asked of me.
Once I have read the assignment instructions, I would search the terms listed in the question, for this portion of my approach a simple engine search would suffice. I will not to use the results of the search as a basis for my academic writing, but to simply familiarize myself with what is being ask of me. Regardless of the topic, when conducting a general search you can come across current events, that may be relevant or a commemorative event that is taking place to honor someone and their work, and this information can be later incorporated in to the essay as needed.
Depending on how much time we were given for the assignment, I would plan approximately four hours a week at Scott’s
Research can be defined as the search for knowledge, or as any systematic investigation, with an open mind, to establish novel facts, solve new or existing problems, prove new ideas, or develop new theories. Research can be divided into different steps in order to understand the whole process more in depth. The first step towards conducting research is to observe. Consistst of the subject area of ones interest and following that subject area to conduct subject related research. The subject area should not be randomly chosen since it requires reading a vast amount of
In Andrea A. Lunsford 's book Easy Writer, she describes how to conduct research and evaluate source material. In addition to informing the reader of the proper ways to incorporate source materials into an article, and concludes with how to write a researched paper. Lunsford begins chapter 37 "Conducting Research", with a detailed explanation of how a writer should start to the research process. First, Lunsford informs the reader to analyze the research assignment, research a question to answer, and then to form a hypothesis. Then, Lunsford details how to perform each of these steps, beginning with the questions a writer need to ask themselves vital to the research process. These questions include information on the purpose of the research project, the target audience, and the interests or assumptions of the audience. After that, the author asks the reader to question their own attitude, feelings, and influences on the topic. Some other questions Lunsford advises the reader to answer before beginning a research project include the amount and types of evidence needed to influence their audience. As well as, questions related to the time and length of the research project. Next, Lunsford explains to the reader how to formulate a question and hypothesis for a research project. This process is begun by finding a topic and, then narrowing it down to an issue from which a question and hypothesis can be generated. Lunsford recommends that writers also plan out their research
Establish the background context - LOOK AT THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF YOUR ESSAY PACKET-APPROX 2 SENTENCES
When in school, upon given any assignment, I would research, research and research again all the main components of the assignment. I love to know what’s next and what certain things mean. Independent research is a lot easier for me. I can process my thoughts and
There are a few different points in the Excerpt from “Learning the Ropes: How Freshman Conduct Course Research Once They Enter College” by Alison J Head, that I can strongly relate to my process of researching and writing my papers in the past. In my freshman English class I researched and wrote a paper about Alzheimer’s and treatment for the disease. There was one finding that the excerpt mentioned that I closely felt while conducting my research for my Alzheimer’s paper. “It was daunting to conduct online searches for academic literature. Nearly three-fourths of the sample said they struggled with selecting keywords and formulating efficient search queries. Over half felt stymied by the thicket of irrelevant results
In research, there is no right or wrong process; although there are many heuristics that can be passed on. Appropriate use of information requires that we see knowledge acquirement as fluid and varying. (Jones, 1996)
The way in which I approached my research was to begin writing notes on all the information I already knew about each area. I then concentrated on the areas I had little or no knowledge about; I began to
One of the greatest USA citizen that made history during the 1946s was John F. Kennedy. The essay will focus in John Fitzgerald Kennedy and it will be focusing on some of the things he accomplished, some of them have to do with human rights and civilization movements. At one point in history his life changes and some of the things he did opened opportunities to others and some of them made hate him and even wanting to kill him.
The famous German physicist Albert Einstein once said, “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” Often in the classroom and life in general, many people assume that in order to research something, a person must first understand it, but that simply is not the case. The whole concept of research stems from human’s natural response to the unknown and the desire to understand it; almost all humans have used research to comprehend and attempt to solve problems. Personally, I have used research a great deal for personal and educational reasons. In high school, I used research for historical and literary papers, in order to better understand concepts, and to discover resources for almost every class. I also
Strategies that I use before I read or view my text are analyzing the title and any subtitles of significance. By analyzing any titles, subtitles, or imagery that is present, I can begin to gather ideas about what the text will include. I can also infer major ideas or statements that the author will discuss in their work. Thus, by analyzing the title of the text I am reading, I can gather important ideas and concepts such as the main thesis, the audience or point-of-view of the text.
Best practice research allows for new projects to be implemented with an understanding of what works, and what doesn’t. Often, this research can reveal a quicker path to successful program implementation and show how to use resources most efficiently. Thus, best practice research will help in the planning process of a permanent supportive housing community in Little Rock. The research has shown permanent supportive housing communities have been implemented throughout the United States and been successful. The analysis and information has helped to create a need for the emulation of similar program across the nation.
R: There are two controlling rules which are relevant to Ms. Hintermeister’s facts. (1) “The owner of any dog that bites any person while such person is . . . lawfully on or in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, is liable for damages suffered by persons bitten . . . However, any negligence on the part of the person bitten that is a proximate cause of the biting incident reduces the liability of the owner of the dog by the percentage that the bitten person's negligence contributed to the biting incident. . . . However, the owner is not liable . . . if at the time of any such injury the owner had displayed in a prominent place on his or her premises a sign easily readable including the words “Bad Dog.” . . . ” § 767.04, Fla. Stat. (1997).; (2) “Such a sign is effective to protect the property owner from liability regardless of the victim's failure to understand the warning solely because of an inability to read or write English. The term "easily readable" refers to a sign that is capable of being read and is not a requirement that any possible victim of a dog-bite be capable of reading the sign.” § 87, 2A Fla. Jur. 2d
The research process is the first step for any research paper. Research is the process of discovering what you believe. When researching a topic, the goal is not to confirm what you already believe, but to investigate a subject and find what you believe. Research should be approached with an open mind to understand why people believe something other than you. Understanding what facts help or hurt your beliefs are key to building a strong report.
