kyra vines- Good Morning Class and Professor,
I cannot believe we have reached the final week of this course. Seems like just yesterday we were introducing ourselves and everything.
The Big6 Research Model is a valuable tool for anyone conducting research, regardless of their age or experience. It can be useful for structured approaches. The Big6 provides a clear and structured framework for conducting research, breaking it down into manageable steps- task definition: Identifying research question or goal provides direction and focus. Information seeking strategies- knowing where to look for credible information saves time and ensures you find relevant sources. Location and access, effectively locating and accessing the information you need is crucial. Use of information- analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating the information you gather helps you build knowledge and avoid plagiarism. Synthesis, organizing and connecting the information from different sources creates a coherent understanding. Evaluation- reflecting on the research process and the quality of your findings enables further learning and improvement.
Civility, both in the workplace and in politics, is crucial for several key reasons. In the workplace, productivity and morale- when people treat each other with respect and consideration, it creates a more positive and productive work environment. Employees feel valued and listened to, leading to higher morale, better teamwork, and increased engagement. In Politics, constructive dialogue and healthy debate- civility allows for more productive and meaningful political discourse. Instead of personal attacks and unproductive arguments, civil debate focuses on exchanging ideas, finding common ground, and compromising to reach solutions.

I wish all of my peers well in their future courses and hopefully we will meet again in a another course.
Andres Gonzales- Good afternoon everyone,
We have made it to the last week of this and should be proud of meeting another one of our educational goals. The Big6 research model definitely a valuable tool for the box. Whenever I am doing research, I will ensure I always try to think first of the Big6 research model. It provided a clear and concise way to think of how to make an approach, and more importantly, where I should start, seeing is most would not know exactly where to begin when it comes to research. All while ensuring you are looking into getting valuable sources for information. Categorizing being my favorite step of the model, it definitely helped me the most because like stated before, it can be difficult for some to figure out exactly where to start when it comes to doing research.
Working in the military medical field, there are a lot of important processes and procedures that we must abide by. There are a lot of procedure manuals that may be referenced on a daily but trying to ensure what is correct does require some research. In specific case scenarios, I could see myself using what I’ve learned in this course and applying it in more situations than just some. This will also help me during researching in other courses while furthering my educational goals.
Lastly, civility is by far one of the most important aspects of professionalism and should be a common practice amongst those in any work environment or whenever they are out in public.
