Chapter 6

After reading chapter six I felt that I got the most out of the research tips. The three steps mentioned in the chapter help to explain a little about how to break up the process of researching a topic. For me researching a topic is the hardest part. I finish up major research projects hoping that the required amount of sources are correct and that they are valid sources. The Internet can be a very complicated place to search for information and there is always more then one answer available and determining which answer is correct is a scary thing sometimes. The first of the three steps is "preparing for the search," knowing what you are looking for and making a list of questions you want answered can help in the process. The second tip was "gathering information," for me I think this is the part that is so exhausting because there can sometimes be too much information and then  I am left wondering where to start, what to use and what to loose. The third step is "evaluation the information found", I think this is key and a helpful way to weed out too much information. If I can prove that the information is incorrect then I would know not to use that particular source. Starting a research paper or project can be an exhausting task but with the proper organization and thought out questions I feel the process is more manageable.
