Student Researchers

Post here if you've chosen "student researchers" as the construct most relevant to your research question, but please read "Thursday's (7/28/11) Work" post first if you haven't already. If you've chosen a different construct. you don't need to respond to this one.

I want you to be as detailed as possible in your responses to these questions, so please don't think about answering this post in list or Q&A form. Try to compose paragraphs that get at all of the questions, but in a coherent, well thought through way.

--What do you think student researchers are supposed to do?
--Where have your ideas about what it means to be a "good student researcher" come from?
--How have the readings we've done so far influenced your ideas about what good student researchers do?
--What misconceptions do you think people have about "student research"?
--How might we go about changing those misconceptions?

Remember to read everyone's comments and make at least 1 additional reply (though what I really hope to see is a conversation develop and your collective ideas advance about the issue).
