Consider Your Audience
"For your beginning research, you really want to change a small piece of the world."
�Nina Nabors, PhD (Citation from Course DVD)

When you expand upon the body of knowledge in your field, the findings that you present may influence one reader, who may in turn influence others. How to present your research findings appropriately to your audience�and knowing who your audience is�require a thoughtful strategy. In this week's Discussion, you will consider the members of that "small piece of the world" about which Dr. Nabors speaks, and the potential for social change.
