I wasn’t in class today, but seeing what the topic was, I figured I could add my thoughts about the assignment: the biggest hurdle was finding suitable articles to work from. I’ve had experience working from databases before, since I earned my Master’s degree in Information Design and Technology in 2012, and there was plenty of opportunity to write a research paper or two. But it’s not a preference of mine, particularly when searching through databases for articles, with charts and diagrams I may or may not understand. And sometimes the terminology used requires dictionary backup. I’m hoping I did OK on my assignment, because I could use some help transitioning between ideas, putting transition words to practice, and adding finesse to my writing.
