Week 7 - Journal

Part 1. Reflections
This week was not as bad as i thought it would be. The first assignment was interesting, and I too was surprised by those thinking everything is free on the web. I do want to give the web credit, but also think it has taken many away from traditional research methods. the advanced Google search was very interesting. I can not believe how advanced technology has come. I almost felt that I was working with a robot. to get a good start towards research have as much detail in to your search area. Google scholar was not my favorite, and I think i wont be using it as often. I felt that it was over my head. I felt that it was incomplete and only gave you sections depending on what you typed in your search area. Web citing was fun, it was an adventure searching and properly citing, i feel pretty confident after these assignments. Also after doing the web evaluation, i felt better about my annotations and hope that you see my intentions towards improvements.
Part 2. Applications
This whole week will be applied towards future assignments. I really feel more comfortable that i know what and where i need to locate information pertaining to citing my sources. I still don't have every period down ,but feel comfortable that I some will. I carry my MLA citation guide at all times and use it for everything that needs to be cited. (I just hope that you don't change the citation style any time some!) this week was a felt a bit longer, but I am glad we did it.
