Original Research

I don't believe that I have ever done original research before.  For all my classes in previous smesters and even in high school I've always done library research.  Orginial reaerch is different from library research because it is research that produces ew knowledge rather than showing existing knowledge in a new way.  Library research can guide someone to do original research by providing background information on topic that they are trying to discover new things about.  I think a pro of library research is that the information found is usually factual and accurate.  A con is that someone doesnt get to discover it for themself, they have to take someone else's word for it because they are told it is factual.  For both types of research, I think interpretation and evaluation are included.  I believe the most important for origninal research is evaluation because you need to make sure you really believe in your findings of your research.  For library research, I believe the most important critcal thinking skill is interpretation because you need to make sure you are completely understanding what yu are researching.
