What I found difficult about this assignment is the fact that we had to look for specific sources that aligned with your question. Sometimes a source can better or worse format your question. Getting the sources that would benefit my research is a difficult task. Something new I had to do is learn how to cite. I’ve only used this citing action on a couple of my reports, not everything. In learning how to properly site my sources I can take trait to other classes. I will be able to write a good formatted report with respectable sources. Something else I will take with me for other classes is that we learned how to use the city tech library’s database. In learning how to do that I can successfully find sources from other researchers that are experts in the topic I’m discussing and make my research more credible. This was a favorable assignment for me.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email.
