module 22

Module 22 is about Finding, Analyzing, and Documenting information. This module talks about how to write questions correctly to get the most detailed and helpful answers. Deciding who to give the survey or interview that you have prepared is just as important. The reason is because if you are interviewing for a certain job there are certain questions for that particular job that you should answer. Analyzing the information that you have collected from the interview or survey is also an important step. When the report is written from you findings from personal interviews or from information you found on your own needs to be cited. The citations need to be in APA or MLA format.
Something interesting that I found out was that there is a certain way to search for information. I had always thought that you just put what you want into a search engine and it found the information. To my surprise I learned that by using articles you can narrow your information. When you use words such as “and” and “or”.
I knew that when you collected data that you had to analyze everything that you have found. The things that I didn’t know were four different ways to do that. There is understanding the source, analyzing the numbers, analyzing the words and checking the logic. I feel like this information will help me sort through the entire information hat I find for the next paper I have to write.
