Chapters six and seven from the Wadsworth reading focus primarily on identifying if research you are using is legit or not. Chapter six emphasized rhetorically reading and research over passively reading and researching. The authors point out website bias and to consider the context of the article or web page. They go into more detail on how to annotate resources and later be able to summarize and paraphrase without the possibilities of plagiarism. Chapter seven goes on to being able to track and evaluate data. To track the data, the authors require four steps: verify, copy, respond, and fill gaps. The authors go further on to explain how evaluate how valid the data is by looking into the internal structure of the information and then external comparison.
The information within these two chapters of the Wadsworth reading will make future research, especially for college, much easily handled. Last semester in psychology sifting through all of the online journal articles for a decent one that would actually be beneficial for my actual paper was not easy. However with the new techniques that the authors present will hopefully help for future effective researching.
