By power, I mean information. However, if information is power then I guess it is power? Regardless, reading through these articles, Tirabassi and Greene especially, changes the lens for approaching new information in other classes. The ability to sort sources through BEAM and to establish a systematic approach for archives is useful for social sciences and humanities research. Essentially, these subjects rely on the build of information throughout history in order to formulate an argument, which generally relies on precedence to produce alternative perspectives. The new methods of research allow for a place to begin the work.
Before I read about how to properly do research, this was me.
As a psychology major, I appreciate a process to approach and deal with the overload of information at my fingertips. But (we knew this was going to happen) I struggle to find an application of these processes into the “hard” science classes, like chemistry. As you may or may not remember, I am a pre-dental student. As a result, at LEAST half of my classes are based on math or science. My experience, so far, is more based on problem-solving and critical thinking than argument forming.
THIS IS ME! Just kidding, math is awful.
