A long time ago, a few weeks to be more precise, there was a guy, lets call him Andrew, was sitting in the computer lab in the Classroom Building at Oklahoma State University. He was sitting in front of a computer and he was stressing out. You see he needed to be looking up sources for his annotative bibliography for his research paper but he had not come up with a research question. It's pretty difficult to look up sources for a topic that does not exist so he needed to think quickly. He had a pretty good idea of what he wanted to do for his research question but he was having difficulty putting it into words. Andrew knew he wanted his question to in some way be about renewable energy. He sat in front of that computer deep in thought while simultaneously taking a quick look at Reddit in order to get the creative juices flowing. While looking at pictures of cats and things he had already seen the night before and trying to make it look like he was doing what he was suppose to be doing he had an epiphany. He thought, "with all the different kinds of renewable energy sources, which one the best and will replace fossil fuels someday?" He knew that would be good enough so he decided to go with it. After looking at one more funny picture, Andrew exited out of Reddit started to look up sources on the library's website. He looked up at the clock a realized only a couple minutes had passed since the beginning of class so he knew he would have plenty of time to find the sources he needed.
This has been taste of what is yet to come in, Essay 3b, The Story of Andrew's Research Process. Coming soon.
