How to conduct research...and the dreaded plagiarism

I like how chapter 5 included observation as a part of the research plan. Unlike other research methods that can become boring observation can be fun. This allows a person to be involved in what they're researching so it can be made fun! I also thought including an interview can make the process of research a little less dull. I think it's better to get involved in the research, and the interview option can be something to change it up. The tips for formatting the results of the research will be a helpful guide in the future where the IMRAD acronym can be used. The whole chapter 8 will be of use to me. I have trouble remembering how to cite things properly keeping in mind that if it is done wrong then it could be seen as plagiarism. I thought it was helpful how the two different types of plagiarism were discussed. Finding out that many of the forms of plagiarism that are found are careless plagiarism. This type of plagiarism can be avoided by citing things properly. This being said I want to make sure, knowing that I can use the book, to not let this happen to me.
