The Curious Researcher; Introduction

I like the context and and narrative of The Curious Researcher so far. After reading the first 16 pages or so, i realized this book isn't like your typical writing help book. This book will especially be helpful to me because it introduces an organized system of approaching the first research paper of the semester. The chart on page 6 is very helpful and easy to understand. Also, it is something you could make a calendar for yourself off of. The section about just how argumentative my essay should be is helpful as well. It says that the best essays have a strong and lively presence in their work. Also, it "encourages a kind of inquiry" in my writing, rather than just the typical college essay format. The Curious Researcher by Bruce Ballenger is definitely full of information that will help me this semester down the road.
