1. Starting out I wanted to learn more about Manfred von Richthofen and what part he played in World War 1.
2. I think some of the benefits of focusing on topics in phases, is that it helps you think clearly about the topic. If you were to do all your research at once there would be a high chance on mixing the information of one author with another. Which could be utterly frustrating and confusing.
3. I think I will definitely approach the way I learn about my future topics differently after this assignment. I will chose something more controversial. Even tho i really liked this topic i can see now that it was hard to get other people involved in it.
4. I felt confident about my ability to discuss topics other prier to this assignment. But more practice can't hurt, you can always learn something new. I am not a shy person and if I disagree with some one or even agree with them i make sure they know.
5. The most valuable thing I have learned about research is that it takes time. One can not just simply go on Google and fined credible information for a topic. It is a search and a quest, which demands time and effort.
Except for the fact that pages are missing from google books, you did a good job tracking down some great sources for your research. I am curious to know whether you feel like you ever truly discovered the Red Baron's role in WWI since that is the goal you set out to accomplish.
