Driscoll attempts to lay down constructors of conducting research. She does this by breaking down the research process into three parts/methods: observations, interviews, and surveys. Driscoll then furthers her explanation by telling readers the dos and donts of each method. Driscoll’s chapter introduces definitions of research from an interdisciplinary perspective, examines consideration, and compares the research process to the writing process. The chapter concludes with information about writing from primary research, including integrating research and creating visuals. |
