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 Intentional plagiarism is when you piece sources together but do not quote it right.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.

Kristen, you did a good job describing what anorexia is and gave some good advice on what to do if someone has a problem with it. You sounded like you have a good start with sources. Your plan of action is treatment for anorexia. I thought one thing you could improve on would be maybe adding why you're interested in anorexia and if you personally know someone who has been affected by this disorder.
ReplyDeleteKristen, you have a really good start on your topic proposal. Your strengths were describing what anorexia is and listing ways on how to get help. The only thing that I saw that was missing and not discussed were your sources. So maybe for the final just say what you have found already and briefly describe them. Overall, I think that this is a really good topic and I like your plan of action on how to get help with anorexia.
