I have really fallen behind on these, so I’m going to attempt to think back and reflect on each week…but I may have my weeks messed up. I don’t know, but I’m going to try and catch up. Looks like I’m about five weeks behind…jeeeez.
Alright..well. Last week we did a lot of working on our research papers in class. Looking at other people’s papers. Getting some help from the teacher. It was a nice week. I think reading some other papers helped me grasp the whole paper a bit more. Because I was a bit lost on how to write my paper, so looking at other papers was definitely helpful, to see how they were doing it. It was also great to be able to go to the library during class and use those computers and printers, rather than my own. Because my printer at home is out of ink and I’ve been to lazy to remember to get ink each time I go to the store.
Last week was also nice to look at the works cited and the paranthetical citations, and get all of the notes we were given. I found it very helpful, although I already knew how to do a works cited page. But the first times I had to do paranthetical citation, we didn’t have to do it the official way. We just had to type the author’s last name in our citation and that was it, so learning the right ways to do it, were definitely nice.
