The word itself contains the prefix (RE) which means "to do over".  Research is fun and exciting if done correctly; but can be tedious and frustrating if your do not have steps in place to complete the process.

UCPS strongly encourages the use of the Big 6© Information Problem Solving Model for research.  The Big6 is more than just a Research Process, it is a thought process that can be used to solve situations that arise in everyday life as well.  Consider this example:  How to make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich using Big6.
