Most of these questions involved a search for facts or right answers.	Several probing questions guided exploration into some of the more complex aspects of the topic. Questions evolved and grew more thoughtful through the process.

The process didn't change or adapt, but was more a recipe than a road map.	The process began with a clear purpose and intelligently followed good leads. The process was open to change and adapting based on new findings.

It's clear knowledge of the topic increased due to research.	The learning outcome revealed a deep understanding of the topic. Explanations or interpretations showed a grasp of the topic's complexity.
