Stats on my population

Bellow are two of my source in APA format. Both show summarized data and don't show how the data is analyzed

Original Reseach

I have never done original research. Original research could be survey, experiment or comparing statistical data. Library research can be used for preliminary research or background information before conducting the original research.

The disadvantage of library research is that information might be biased but the advantage is that previous original research has been done that might help you as start up

Analysis, reflection and interpretation could be the main critical thinking tools that might be used for doing both library research and original research.  For library research making an inference would be a challenge while for original research analyzing and getting information would be a great challenge.

Checking In

The successes that I am having with my semester research presentation is that I have all my questions done 
 
one of my Challenges are finding all the resources for my  all the assignments but I still believe that I have learned  enough to write my own research.

Also, another challenge for me would be the presentation. Sine we only have bullet points on the slides, it would be difficult for me to remember all the concepts I would need to explain them
