| Title of Article + Proper MLA Citation for Works Cited page | Introduction to Primary Research: Observations, Surveys, and Interviews by Dana Lynn Driscoll |
| Summarize the article — include your reaction, thoughts, anything to help you remember its claims. 100 to 150 words | In Driscoll’s journal of primary research I learned how important research is and to do it the right way. Driscoll states that research is different from field to field. For example engineering majors have to do all kinds of research for their projects. Also she expresses in the beginning of the article that research is very important to start a project, interview, or podcast. Research is also important so you can value your information and back up your information in your research. Driscoll also states that all research must include observations because we need to observe what we are searching. |
| Define new terms and concepts by quoting or paraphrasing the original author. | I found a lot of new terms when it comes to primary research. Those terms are: Voluntary Participation, Confidentiality and anonymity and Researcher bias. Voluntary participation is that you have to get permission to do your research. Confidentiality and anonymity means that your peers could have inappropriate words in your research and you need to make sure you don’t have that. Researcher bias is that you have to be taking notes from the data you collect. |
