Research Log Entry 3

1. The things that were discussed in the previous class meeting were the bias of newspapers and being able to form new, more specific questions that relate to a broader question.

2. The most important point was being able to make new questions, because I do have a hard time coming up with new elements to put into research papers and essays.

3. I will try to ask more questions when I come across new facts.

4. I believe it is important to know about the authority of anything used in research, but it is especially true when researching on the internet.

5. I will try to make more specific questions about facts when I do the reasearch paper for history class.

Thanks for your open response to question 2. I'd like to relate it to question 5. Sometimes, it's very useful to be more specific about facts, but sometimes, a different approach can work. You can take a fact and surround it with a question that explores people's opinions about the fact and that often leads to complexity and a good research topic.
