The ways of research

I feel that chapters one and two in Wadsworth Guide to Research are going to be very helpful. The fact that they give an example for everything that they mention is a great addition. Most things that I have read on writing gives a few examples on what they mean, but this book gives an example on every detail. This book is also written in a way that doesn’t seem to drag on as you read it. I am not saying that it is going to become my top read or my favorite book, but that as far as writing books go, this is my favorite. It is easy on the eyes as well. It is not just black ink on white paper; it has different warm colors that make it pleasing to the eyes. They knew their audience when they were creating this book. In other words, they did their research on it. I did like that Ball Point was basically the same as these two chapters. It did give a bit more detail in how to do quotations, paraphrasing, and summarizing as well as how to format papers. It even goes as far as to teach you the way to format a paper in Microsoft Word. There are many things that I think these two resources are going to be very helpful with. I am actually glad to have these resources at my disposal.
