It will also help us understand different views of the topic. We will need to use our investigative skills to find sources that are credible and can be used in our paper. Another skill that will be used is inquiry-based techniques, which will help us gain knowledge of the topic and use it in the future. Logic will be used to make our argument from the knowledge that we got from our research.
