The most illuminating parts of this research site/project were how we could read and talk about things in class and then apply them to our site. It was nice to be able to see what we were talking about and reading about and not just talk or read about them. I think it will stick with me longer because of this fact. It was also neat that we got to choose our own site and something that interests us rather than you pick something. I found that I was more interested in looking and applying terms to something I was interested in rather than something that I wasnt interested in.
The one thing that I thought was the most frustrating was the book. It was just too hard to understand and comprehend. I would read a page and then say what? I would almost have to read each page twice. The language the book used was way over my head I found it easier just to read the terms in the back of the book and try to understand it from there. I think it would be more beneficial to give the guidlines of the final research paper, before the students pick there site. This will eliminate picking a very difficult site, to research and give the students and idea of what they will be expected to do. Just like the course syllabus we get for each class that states what we are expected to do ahead of time so we are not caught off guard when it comes down to it.
