Research Blog 3

Posted on November 1, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I been doing some research on my topic and I have found some interesting articles about it. I had checked the CUNY+ catalog before and I even got a book about plagiarism, but it wasn’t what I expected because the book was about a case that had happened a long time ago and somewhat didn’t deal with my topic. So I was checking once again and found several books about plagiarism, but I didn’t know which books to chose based on my topic. Some words I used were: “plagiarism”, “plagiarism tools”, “plagiarism in higher education”, etc. It did show me some results, but most books and electronic resources where located at different college libraries. I even checked the own website of plagiarism which is http://plagiarism.org/. This site informs about plagiarism and its backgrounds. Also for those who dont know what plagiarism is and what the consequences can be.

I hope the bubbl.us activity helped you begin to organize your thoughts and see relationships among your ideas for the research paper topic.If you want to share your mind map or get feedback, you can post your bubbl in a new post on the blog (see my post below). If you are still generating an idea for the research paper and wish to review class notes, visit the Slides page of the course site.

On Monday, we’ll continue our discussion about the process of research: refining a topic and creating search strategies. Please read Badke, appendix 1 pp. 177-195 and review Badke Ch. 3 pp. 34-41. Your first research journal blog post is due Monday as well. Here is prompt for that post:

You are working on choosing a topic and developing a research question for your paper. What difficulties (if any) have you encountered as you work on your research proposal?
What strategies (if any) have you used successfully during this work?
What questions (if any) do you have about the assignment?

Slides from today are available here.
