Brynn Jenson - ENGL 6401

I think something that impressed me was how much intention goes into planning and preparing a research study. I remember reading that one thing we should do as a critical reader of research is ask whether the researcher has applied the appropriate method for the goal of the research. I have never once read a research paper and critiqued their choice of research method. I think I would still struggle a little bit with it, but it makes me want to be careful with the method I choose to implement in my own future studies.

After chatting with Florence I can see that my strongest paragraph isn't the first of my paragraphs and I'd like to switch that up.  Lastly, there are some errors in my citations that I need to edit. Whoops haha.
