This chapter went into detail about the actual learning element of writing a research paper that we as students often forget. The information that stood out to me a lot was the use of data as a tool instead of just attaining data for some goal. Badke explains that the information that we go out to find should not just be the first and most common source (google) that we often find ourselves using while slipping into a uniform system of search. He wants us to go out use real life, access a library and expand our normal ways of thinking about research. That way in the end we are not also completing an assignment, we are learning. Interesting document.
