Answer & Explanation:

Describe the major elements of the research process

1. Be curious (Asking the research question)

2. Review the "Tradition" (what is already known)

3. Add System and Routine (Select a research design to gather information)

4. Collect some sort of data (Note: not everything counts as data)

5. Analyze or Synthesize the data and draw conclusions (and new questions)

6. Share your results

Provide a working definition of social science research that you can build on throughout the quarter

Social Science research is a set of orderly procedures intended to help us acquire knowledge about many facets of society and human nature, or who we are. -Systematically answering questions about the social world.

Provide a working definition of technology that you can build on throughout the quarter

Constructing shared definitions, Building typologies, Drawing boundaries

Identify common ways in which technology and the research process can intersect with each other

Technologies (Computing, research, and digital) changes the way that researchers conduct research -Researchers conducting research study social impacts of technologies -Researchers conducting research design more effective technologies

Illustrate one or more connections between research and technology with an example from class

State why learning to do research well requires that you also learn to write research well

Writing and communication are  present at every stage of the research

process   - ”...we write not just to share our work,  but to improve it before we do.” Booth  et al. (2008:12)  - We write to remember, understand,  and to test your thinking.

Explain the need for and function of having a clear sense of your reader/audience whenever writing

Contrast Problem Solving with Critical Thinking and give an example of each type of task

Problem-solving: finding  correct solutions to well-defined problems

- Critical Thinking: finding  reasonable solutions to ill-defined problems

List common sources of research problems or questions

-Research question come from  personal experience, disciplinary

problems, and problems of society

Define the basic aspects of any effective research question and compare these to a research topic

Explain what file compression is, state why it is useful, and be able to discuss the steps involved

Enter data into a Google Form and describe common problems encountered using Google Drive

List the basic features of a properly formatted professional or academic email

State what a "mind map" is and list one or more online tools that can be used to create them

Mind mapping is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts.

- You can create a “mind map” by  using Bubbl.us

Explain how a mind mapping tool can be used to assist in the question-finding task of research

It is a visual brainstorming tool that helps you to better comprehend,

analyze, recall and generate new  ideas. Just as in every great idea, the

power of mind mapping lies in its  simplicity.
