Value of Research

by: Lucas. F. The value of research is vast. You use research in everyday life, weather it's trying to find prices on something, or just looking up general information you want to know. Being able to do research in your first year of college is very important. There will be times you have to write papers, or being able to research answers you'll have on worksheets and other various types of work. In doing research you have to try and get all of the information you can out of sources. When doing this you'll need to know at least the basics of research, being able to get the full information will help with anything you are trying to do in life. You must also be able to make sure the sources you are using are credible, and to find that out you must be able to research the authors of the sources and where they got their information from. If you cannot grasp how to research it's best to find out how. If you don't know how to make sure the sources are good, and the information is correct you will get all kinds of wrong answers and that will make it very difficult to get good grades on research papers. All in all we use research in everyday life, you need to know how it works and and how to get your information, it's a very important skill that I feel everyone should know how to use, not only can research help you in school but it can also help after school. When you go out you'll want to research the values of apartments and try to find the best deals, so if you learn how to do so in your first year of college it'll make things a lot easier in the long run.
