Research as a Process

Most of the time, finding some information on a topic is so easy a monkey could do it! Info is everywhere. The challenge? Assignments that ask for: 

  • scholarly or academic articles
  • multiple relevant sources or even
  • "the best" information

But it doesn't have to be hard, especially if you take it one step at a time.
