Hi Everyone!
In conducting research, I have found it most difficult to grasp the value of research publish 10+ years ago, how long is too long ago? It has also been difficult for me to enter into finding research without prior biases, how can I find, pick, and choose research efficiently when it doesn’t personally interest me but could serve as a substantial point of reference? Also, how can you best evaluate and chose between information that is interesting and information that is useful for your research?
I think I have a pretty good grasp on evaluating proper secondary research in an academic setting, but what are ways in which we can evaluate reliable primary sources? How can we ensure that our own first-hand primary research can serve as valid and significant research?

these are great questions, Rebecca – I look forward to discussing them in class tomorrow.
