Research Exploration: Reflection on Learning About Research
We're towards the end of our research class now, and our instructor has asked us to answer some reflective questions. Question One: What have you learned about the processes of designing a sound research study in class? In my research methods class I learned about the important details that go into a research study. I learned more of the terminology and structure of formal research reports. I’ve learned theoretical principles of research here and there before, but in this class I learned the most about literature reviews. I hadn’t actually done one before, but demonstrating the research foundations of your study makes perfect sense. I’m glad I had the chance to create a graduate-level one. Question Two: What have these processes taught you about your future roles as a technical/professional communicator and digital rhetorician? These processes have helped me learn about what research looks like in this specific field as I didn’t have a formal communication or rhetoric backgroun
