Researching

Researching is an important academic skill, but is also useful in everyday life. Exploring options, sourcing information and analysing/evaluating data is valuable in the preparation for assessment writing, but also when looking to buy a new home or car, setting up finances or deciding on a career path. There are many ways to research, and multiple methods of note taking, and collecting information - it is worthwhile testing a few methods before deciding which is a best fit for the task or area of study.
