Another Dialogue with Dave

For this blog post we had Dave, a fictional character, asking us questions.  These question are about our research paper.  These question are:

1. Dave: Hey you, I think you can't really say that one opinion is better than another one. Don't you agree?
Me: I think that you bring up a very good point.  One thing that I think is really beneficial to research is to get two different opinions but you also need to pick the one that you agree with the most.  I think that this will help you create a very well rounded paper with two different opinions on the topic that you chose to write about even if you do chose a side and lean towards that you have a balanced paper.

2. Dave: There's all this stuff in the book about research as a process of discovery.  What did you discover?
Me: I discovered many things about music majors and the job market in today's society.  First, I was always told that music majors could not get jobs but while I was researching this topic I discovered that music majors are actually able to find jobs in their field after they graduate from college.  I also learned many other things as well which I thought were very interesting to add to my paper.

3. Dave: What do you figure was the most challenging problem you had to solve while working on this research project? How did you solve it?
Me: I think that the most difficult thing about this research paper was figuring out what the main points were that I wanted to focus on.  There is so much information that I had to find what I believed were the most important topics to discuss and research in this paper.

4. Dave: After all this work, what do you take away from this experience? What have you learned that you can use?
Me: I learned a lot about music majors and the different things that you can find jobs in.  I also learned how to research more effectively and also I became more familiar with using a library database.
