Goals and such (post #1)

My experience with research is very limited. I feel like I've read a great deal of research, but I have never donned the title of researcher.

Immediate research goals include getting to know what research looks like in Composition Studies. Coming out of this class, I'm hoping I can pinpoint and classify research when I read it.

I'm interested in authorship theories and how students negotiate plagiarism policies. I know there is a wealthy bank of research that asks plagiarism questions. As such, I feel like I'll need to dig into the research more to ask a question that hasn't been asked. I'm also interested in how multimedia and social media can be used as resources for students.
