Document Summary

Discover what i know on a topic. Go into the field for interviews, observations and experimentation. Test my curiosity by probing a complex subject. Synthesize my ideas and discoveries with the knowledge and opinions of others. Investigate a subject, gaining a grasp of its essentials, and disclosing my findings. Make inquiries to advance my own knowledge as well as increase data available for future research by others (inquiry-based techniques). Discriminate between useful and unfounded or ill-conceived information (use critical thinking). Make perceptive judgments (by the wisdom i gained from my research) about issues surrounding a specific topic (use logic). I must determine which documentation style to use by asking my instructor early on which style to use and organize accordingly.
