4 Important points to help you succeed in this course

To be success in this course, people should think about 4 things that can be very helpful. These 4 things that i list is based on my experience taking this class.

  1. Great Topic

People should pick the topic that they are really interested in. because this topic is going to be your main focus during this whole semester. Make sure there is a problem that you can really see and have a passion to solve it. Otherwise, you will be lazy to do your paper.

2. Find many sources

After you get your topic, start right away to find a lot of sources as much as you can. Having many sources can give you more information even a little for your research.

3. Ask the Professor and peers

Do not ever afraid to ask questions to the professor. Based on my experience, Prof. Hawk is a very helpful professor to help you with your paper. Once i stuck with my paper, then i asked him again, he gave me many ideas that really help me for my paper. Asking questions also can give you an idea from a different sight. Ask him even a little question, he will help you.

4. Time management

Procrastinate is a big no in this class. Never wait until the last few days or even a day before the assignment is due. People should spend some time to do this project. This project need a lot of time for reading the sources, typing and editing. it definitely will give you a big different result.

Patricia Palendeng – problems with food vendors

— This post belongs on your own blog, not here.

The reason why i chose the topic of food vendors is because food trucks are becoming such a big part of the lifestyle in New York City. Throughout Manhattan, streets are occupied by halal stands and taco trucks that are becoming just as popular as stationary restaurants. I myself often go to these food stands because they are cheap and fast and very convenient. However, I have started to wonder how clean and healthy these food stands really are. While they are cheap and fast, there must be a bad side to them as well. I’m still trying to find research on this topic since most people who order from these food trucks usually do not ask questions. I think people would rather not know and just focus on the good parts.
