Journal 7

Tuesday in class we talked about the Field Work Group Project. My group is doing the Shuttle. We each have to observe and write a one-page reflective essay over it. We also have to do a one-page reflective essay over an interview with someone that rides the shuttle or one of the drivers. AFter that, we have to do a powerpoint with 20 slides and they each have to be 20 seconds long. It is called the Pecha Kucha presentation. I am still working on my annotated bibliography. I am going to the writing center next tuesday at 2:00 to get revisions done. This paper seemed a little easier than the last paper. I have all of my sources besides an online source. I am still trying to find one that I like. I am also going to the Edmul presentation at the library this week at 5:00. That should help me a lot with what i am writing about.

Today in class we did a finding and evaluation information on the World Wide Web. I did one over the Moon Landing Not Faked. I did not think the site was real because the guy who made it did not sound professional at all. He did not give any sources that he used. The only thing that was given were links to other websites. Each person in the group did a separate site and then we got together and talked about what we thought about the certain one we did. In chapter 9, it talks about how we can serach for sources with online library catalogs. That was the purpose for us to go to the library last thursday to learn how to use the library databases. We can search for sources by their name, author, title, keyword, subject, date of publication or the call number. Databases focus on other sources from different collections. Databases focus on recent articles, newspapers, and magazines. In Chapter 10, I read about how to browse through stacks in the library. I can do that by using the dewey decimal system. I can locate the bibliography by using the librarys reference room. If i need help finding a journal or any other type of source i plan on asking a librarian for help.

I read chapter 8 and it was about planning to search for information. The information i get should be from books, journals, columns, and internet sources. Instead of writing a propsal, it is already written. The proposal i will use is the one i already wrote. I do not understand what timeliness means though. For the next paper we are doing i have many book sources and internet sources. All i need now is some journals and interviews. I have to find evidence that will make an argument by picking information that is most accurate and which has the most evidence. This chapter was short so i do not know what else to write about.

Journal 4-Kristen Thobe

I finally figured out that I am going to write about the treatment of anorexia. It is a difficult topic to write about but i feel like i have enough information to use and sources to use in my paper. I wrote on all my groups blogs and told them how they did on their rough draft of the topic proposal. We do not have class this week but we have a conference with our teacher which counts as our attendance. I am going to the writing center on Thursday to have someone look over my paper and make corrections. Chapter 6 was about how to take good notes. To be safe from plagiarism, a person needs to quote it and then site it. IF you are not sure if it is plagiarism then site the source anyway. Also, when a person summarizes something, make sure they capture the overall argument and the main points. Chapter 7 was about avoiding plagiarism. Unintentional plagiarism is when a person forgets to put quotes around the sentence and when they take bad notes. It is also when you do not site the source correctly. Intentional plagiarism is when you piece sources together but do not quote it right. I do not think i will have a problem with plagiarism because i usually always look over my work and also have someone else read it over to make sure there is nothing wrong with my sources or citing.
