In “Everything’s an Argument”, they briefly describe many different types of arguments, like Arguments of Definition on page 24, and Arguments to Make Decisions on page 13. Arguments to Make Decisions says how tough it can be for people to make decisions, and the only way for them to figure out which way to go is to argue all the alternatives. I know I can relate with that, especially when they talked about how tough a challenge it can be to decide your major. I have probably flopped through a half dozen possibilities of majors to study, but I think I have argued it to the end and have it down, for now.
“The Bedford Researcher” covers ways to help you get your research project going. On page 6 it has a timeline chart. Basically, it is to help you manage your time better on a research project, so you don’t spend too much time on one part of the project and too little on another. You have to fill out a start and end date so you know when to move on to the next area of your project. It also covers different ways to get ideas going about whatever your topic is. Looping (page 11) I found interesting, simply because it was the only one I hadn’t heard much about, as compared to brainstorming, freewriting, or even clustering.
