chapter 2

When I think of resarch I think of long hours spent trying to find outcomes that might not make sense. But when I read this chapter I saw how much research has helped people in many situations. It is not always just about finding one answer. It is about finding more ways to think about something. So I found it interesting how many ways you can collect data and organize it to find new topics that are common. It was a very long but informational chapter.

First Week

       For this course I hope to achieve a grade that reflects the work and effort I put into any homework or tests that I am given. Also that I participate in many activities that we work on in class and enjoy this class and learn as much as possible. My reflection on High School vs. College is that high school is easier than college because your classes are smaller and you have more of an interaction between the student and the teacher. In that case if you do not understand a certain concept you could easily talk to your teacher and they would help you. Yet in college you might not have that same opportunity because the professor's classes are larger and might not always be available when needed. I defiantly found this article informative and interesting to see how much of a difference there really is between the two.
