(8) To post your research topic comment, you FIRST need to spend a few minutes doing some searching on the Web or some library facility on the Web. This way you'll be able to have something to discuss in your research topic comment for that week. When you do the search every week you need to fill out the Search Information Form available online (see point 9 next). (9) Remember this: For your Research Report (located here: www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/leonj/leonpsy17/g17research.html you will need to fill out records of your weekly searching using a Form. This will serve as your data for the Research Report. The Form is to be copied from this file:
Paste the form into your Word processor and save it
as forms.doc Repeat the process with each week's search. Open the file you saved as forms.doc and copy and paste the Form again at the end of the file. Fill this out in the search session. Save the file. In this way you will accumulate all the Forms in one big file. Each Form is the record of one search session (usually per week). When you are ready to do your Research Report you will have all your data in this one file. You can then analyze it and make conclusions. |
