Topic: In what ways has working from proposal 1 to the start of project 2 been useful?

From writing the proposal to writing half of a draft for project 2 made it easier to write. The proposal gave me time to gather research and we already started building and practicing ideas and writing for project 2. I think I could have written all 10 pages easily because of the set up the proposal helped me with. I have collected so much research and I could easily interview friends and maybe a professor, or send out a survey to people within the age group I have made my focus group. Proposal 1 was basically collecting research and project 2 is the writing of the research collected- our class is all connected and it makes it easy to do the work. I could write my paper in a day, if I wanted, because the set up and ideas have been developed in other assignments and research has already been done and I just need to form it all into words now. Working from that to starting project 2 has been insanely easy and I appreciate the set up of the class to help me with my research paper, I have never felt so confident in my writing!

Primary Research

Topic: Primary Research

    Why is primary research important? You can write papers by only doing secondary research but secondary research needs to be within specific time frames, a bit biased, and it is something that others have already talked about and addressed. Primary research, what you collect from people without using books or the internet (secondary research), helps to eliminate biases you hold towards the topic and also allows you to get more information on your topic. 

    Surveys are probably a bit easier to create as you can email them out to a mass group of people and people can keep their names off of it, I feel like a lot of people answer what they think the person wants to hear if they think that someone will know that they answered.
