Week 6

This week's research was a little bit more challenging as far as finding an open access journal in the English language. I found a ton of articles in Turkish and Spanish. However I found that when I switched search engines to the http:/oajse.com it was much easier to find articles in English. This week was important because I value my work and I'm quite sure other writer's do as well. Everyone wants credit for their work and I never question why plagiarism is important. When I was in my first year of college I thought plagiarism was just copying word for word, but now I see that its somebody's  words, ideas, thoughts, and writings.

Thanks for reading my Research blog!

Week 5

This week I had a much easier time researching than the first week of this class. Even before its over I feel like I am learning a lot and gaining knowledge each week. This week with empirical research it was a little harder because of the short writing and I felt I had to go through a lot of articles before finding the right one. Otherwise I feel I am doing well as far as the research part goes.

Week 4

This week the knowledge I gained was invaluable not only in this class, but in life and any other time I research any topic. Not only did I learn how to research and learn the proper key words to use, but also how to search for e books, how to download them, and how to order a book to be sent to me. The new strategies I used were Badke's research strategies to keyword search correctly as I would call it. For example the sheer symbols used when doing searching was a big help. There were no really big problems this week, however I feel as the class goes on I might run into some problems with trying to interpret and write conclusions. As week 6,7, and 8 approach I get excited because my topic is very interesting to me.
