Research: More Than Detective Work

I appreciated the content of the text, though I found the formatting to be a bit visually disorienting. I do like some comic strips/graphic novels, but the flow of this one had me misplaced at times. It is, though, a creative and fun way to represent a topic that might otherwise incite a yawn from its audience.

The information is useful and I will be using it as a reference in the future. The difference between primary and secondary sources and the bias that can exist in both is something that I will now more readily scrutinize. This piece also emphasized the importance of utilizing sources for a specific purpose. For example, while an online source that may be biased and promoting of self-interests may not be appropriate for a research paper, it may be appropriate for an opinion piece. Overall, I found this article to be encouraging in these days prior to our looming research papers.
