LIB 1201 Fall 2012

Making a thanksgiving turkey is not easy. There are a lot of steps one has to go through to make the turkey come out good enough to serve. It is generally a long process that takes at least five hours. Dryness is the biggest complaint people have. In this video it shows you how to keep the turkey moist. In the video the cook mentions something about “basting” she should explain further what this process is so people can understand not to do it in case they are not fully aware what it is. Other than that, she does a thorough job at explaining how to cook a thanksgiving turkey if one is unaware how to do so

Today we discussed standards, methods and styles for citing text and non-text media. Slides from today are available here. We will continue our discussion of documentation on Wednesday with a discussion of the practical applications of documentation.

Your assignment for Wednesday is the draft of the research paper, either handed in at the beginning of class or emailed to me as an attachment by 10 a.m. on 11/28. I will post the guidelines for the final version of the research paper on the site later today and distribute paper copies in class on Wednesday.

Good luck with finishing up the draft, everyone! Please get in touch or refer to the guidelines if you have any questions about the assignment.

UPDATE: I posted guidelines for the final research paper and will distribute a print version in class on Wednesday.

As a non writer this is continually a difficult process, there is so much to read and digest, that must then be turned into something informative but not being “regurgitated”. I have made slow progress, this is a a very heavy writing term for me. Conveniently, searching for information and using libraries is nothing new for me, im quite sure its the only reason why i’m still surviving this class. Knocking out this paper and a passing grade in the class will allow me to de-stress , that is, until next semester starts. I like to think that a topic as dynamic as mines is helps because theres always something new going on. An example is a recent email facebook uses have been sent regarding policy.
