Path of Inquiry

These topics were discussed thoroughly in class with our guest speaker, whom was very informative and I really appreciated her enthusiasm.  To serve others, I think would be the act of discovering what others need and honestly (to the best of one’s ability) attempting to fulfill those needs.
Kyle and I came up with a pretty satisfactory definition for service learning, something along the lines of; to actively engage simultaneously as teachers and students, pursuing an enriching goal of bettering the community as a whole. 
I have had experience in doing research predominately in the sociology field; ranging from country reports to qualitative and quantitative research. 
I do believe students would be more likely to complete their university degree with confidence in their research skills.  Like the article states; “While universities struggle to deal with transition and retention issues, they also continue to cope with serious concerns regarding the information literacy skills of students entering and graduating from their institutions. Can it be argued that there is a correlation?” I think they poise this as a rhetorical question, that there is a correlation.
