Week 3 Synthesis Discussion

Objective 1: Define and understand the process of information gathering and synthesis.

Before we develop any plan of action, we must comprehend the process of gathering information and synthesizing it. This often involves breaking down all the information you gathered before you begin to put it back together in a way which helps shape and form a cohesive plan of action.

• Read Information Gathering and Synthesis.
• Prepare to share in discussion the following points:
  • Briefly define information gathering and synthesis.
  • Explore why these two processes are necessary.
  • Why do we take apart the information and reduce it to its component parts, and then put it back together again?
