Document Summary
We might succinctly summarize the creating knowledge chapter (chapter 12) of. Charles bazerman"s the informed writer, which you need for last week by stating that different disciplines have different ways of creating and representing knowledge. For example, while we might associate the reconstructive and interpretive method with the humanities, a physicist can do historical work to understand the practice of science has changed over time. Likewise, while we associate a designed experiment using the scientific method with the experimental sciences, a literary scholar can use data mining tools to design and conduct controlled experiments in order to test an hypothesis. Scholarship focused on past events and texts use evidence form the past to come to new statements of knowledge (230) To do so, we can either seek to reconstruct these past events and texts or we can seek to interpret them.
