Reading = Learning

Chapter five was a pretty good read. Since I have had a lot of experience with
Primary research chapter five certainly opened up my eyes to a few specific aspects that I need to pay attention to. The first being the three different types of “Primary” research, I had no idea that in went into this kind of detail and classification. I really like the concept of “interviews” as primary research because I always like to hear what peoples take are on certain situations, questions, etc. I personally am not a fan of surveys, just because they are usually not taken seriously, but they are the simplest to conduct. Another thing that caught my eye was the “ethical consideration” section. When I do a survey, interview, etc I usually try to be sensitive to the audience in which I am conversing with, but they take a nice perspective on it. The last part I took to was the “data interpretation” section. When I conduct research first hand (I’ve done this multiple times when I was starting up my first company) it was hard to fully understand “open end” questions. I also like their research plan model.

Chapter eight was something we have all heard OVER and OVER again, but I actually learned something from this chapter. The “fair use” concept of copyright was interesting in the sense it was not all hardcore about “this is mine and no one else can use it”. The “integrating reseoucres” section was quite helpful. As someone who always has trouble with this I now know where to go to get help when I cant just GOOGLE it, haha.

Overall I continue to like the readings, as I am learning new things (imagine that, haha).
