Chapters 1 & 8

I enjoyed reading the Preface. I found it interesting that William Badke described researching as something that in turn, someone can come to enjoy. It’s almost as if researching about a topic you may know or not, can be intriguing, seeing that you yourself can be entertained simply by searching in the nearest library. In chapter one, I liked how Badke motivates the reader to go out there and come back with a stellar research paper. It’s funny that is when Badke describes something, it’s almost as if he’s putting himself in our shoes, and thinking how we would about researching a topic with no relevance to our lives. As I was reading this, I came up with questions that within seconds of continuous reading, was shortly answered. It’s ironic that the same strategy (5 W’s) we used as a child when writing a summary, can also be helpful when doing a research paper.
