Intermed research

Getting Started

In this final week of the course, you will have the opportunity to discuss the importance of APA documentation in the research process.  Without APA to guide our practice of research, completing these kinds of assignments would be much more difficult.  Depending on where you are in your course sequence, you may be comfortable and familiar with this process.  Don't be afraid to share your experiences and encourage your fellow classmates who may not feel as confident.

Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:

· Use a variety of academic resources to enhance research skills.

Resources

· McGraw-Hill, Connect Composition Essentials, 4e  (This e-book is embedded in the Connect companion course, which you can access by using the McGraw Hill Connect Deep Integration link found under the MH Connect section of your Table of Contents.)

Background Information

For this discussion, it is extremely important to review the information in the e-text because you may not be familiar with some of the terms related to this discussion.  Consider what it would look like if we did not use the same "language" when we conducted or presented research.  As challenging as the process of learning APA can be, the alternative of not having a common ground from which to operate would be much more difficult.
