You probably have some good experience doing research already, whether for schoolwork or your own personal concerns.  In this session, we hope to translate your previous experience into practice with academic research at CMU.

To warm up for this session, please reflect on the questions below 

  1. Think of a time when you looked for information to make a decision or to solve a problem. (Examples: buying a mountain bike, choosing a college).  How did you search?  What search tools did you use?  Who did you talk to?  
  2. How is academic research different from personal research?
