Chapter 10

      Chapter 10 introduces the idea of how to collect information in the field by using interviews and surveys as sources. This is another way to gain more insight into your topic. If you feel like adding another viewpoint for your paper you can collect information out of the book and into the raw world. On page 184, the book illustrates the best ways to conduct an interview if you want to use it in your paper. Just like planning any event in your life you want to first consider your choice on the right candidate to interview and than use the best questions to ask that will coincide with your research question (184-185). Another way to get information from people without a one on one interview is by either observing certain types of people or by surveying a specific demographic for information(190, 192).

       Using any of the above techniques can add a real element to your paper. If you're tired of keeping your nose in the books and want to gain more raw insight in your topic than going out in the field is a great way to obtain that goal. Whether it is by interviewing a person with a relevant role with your topic or observing the environment or demographic you're researching can add a diverse outlook in your paper that your readers will notice.
