Everyone does research. Some just do it better than others. In this chaotic world of information and misinformation, referred to as “information fog, ” university students, in particular, need to learn how to conduct research effectively.
Good research is about a quest to discover more, about a burning desire to solve society’s problems and make a better world. Ultimately, research is a way forward to a resolution of life’s greatest difficulties. In this seventh edition of Research Strategies: Finding Your Way through the Information Fog, author William Badke walks you step by step through the entire research process—from choosing a topic, to writing the final project, and everything in between.
A seasoned researcher and educator, Badke offers tried-and-true tips, tricks, and strategies to help you identify a problem, acquire pertinent information, and use that information to address the problem. Employing a host of examples and humor, Research Strategies: Finding Your Way through the Information Fog shows how research can be exciting and fun.
