As a student working on my internship project, the one benefit that currently stands out to me, is an appreciation for the time and effort taken, by individuals and/or groups, to discover and/or add-on to the research that hopefully benefits all it pertains too. The time spent on reflecting on what to research, how to research it, where to start, when it should be completed by or if ever, why is it important, who will it affect/not affect, and how does one research to give coherence to an educated audience, is awesome task and accomplishment in my estimates.
I can truely apprecite the segments from the videos discussing how to 'fill the gap' or 'the missing puzzle piece'. I admire the cognitive learning that takes place when performing the research, from the cyclic reflections to the fomalizing of coherent transitional thoughts and ideas brought into summary. Dr. Classen, from NC St., mentioned in the second video that in developing our own ideas while conducting the research, we are picking up a story and adding on to it, or as I would note, telling a story with a enligtened factual twist. Again our research will fill in the gap(s) or become a solved puzzle piece to the larger inter-webbed picture of a topic.
I like to know that I am a critical-independent thinker and will be looking for the relevance/difference/agreement/disagreement between the sources of information I use to explore. I will find what is critical and significant to the research and what is unecessary. I will see the agreements and disagreements between th esources, and what source aligns to others and who it opposes. In all fairness, being new at this process, I will try and do my best to decifer truth from fiction and separate the flaws from fact, so that it may not inhibit my research process and analysis.
