Williams Badke: Preface,Ch1 and Ch8

Now a days most people turn in to choosing one option when it comes to searching for information because of its easy access. The first place we think of when it comes to finding research or information would be the internet. As implied in chapter 1 Williams Badke was very straight forward with all his information given on how it took centuries for all oral to be written. He also explained the process in which it happened and the number of changes it brought to the world whether they were negative or positive. Gatekeeping processes were added in order to help prevent unacceptable ideas but it got to a point where it was no longer required anymore which allowed everyone to have access to and publish anything as they pleased. In chapter 8 Learning how to read for Research, Badke helps us to learn how to improve in writing over the average research papers. I learned that you must learn to be ruthless and gather all the information that you need and eliminate the rest which is useless. Even if it’s by skimming through a book or article. Also that taking notes makes things so much easier to when it comes down to putting together all your research. Badke informs us of many advantages and disadvantages in which we should look into.
