Interview Legit?
Chapter 5 was a good review of some ways to do research. Last year in my English class we did an observation very similar to Figure 5.1 in the book. This is a good way of doing things because you can right down your observation and then back a quick side response beside it. It can also be fun to observe things that you are interested in. The next thing they talked about was conducting interviews. The first thing you obviously want to do is make sure the person you are interviewing is a reliable source. If the person you interview is not reliable it is pointless but if you have a good person to interview it can be a great source for information. I think that survey's are great for research paper because it is a good way to collect data to prove your point. Chapter 8 was a lot more about plagiarism. Good thing we found out in the library today that EBSCOHOST cite sources for you!
