Week 8 The Last Week.

This week was pretty much like a cooking metaphor where we had our product, our onions, our cheese, our garlic, meat, and veggies and put it all together to create a dish that could be viewed and enjoyed. I have learned a lot this semester including how to properly research, how to write a literature review, plagiarism, and other skills meant to help you explore research methods. Since this was my first time writing a literature review and taking a research methods class it was very informative. According to my major there will be lots more literature reviews to practice on and I look forward to it. The only thing I would say I had trouble with was getting the citations correct, I did have a couple times where I had to go back and forth with the Purdue owl website. However, it was all worth it to know exactly how to cite and when. I took tips and information from this class and have begun to apply it to my life inside school and out. I thank everyone for their time and effort with me in this class!

Thanks for reading my blog and I hope to see everyone in other classes.

Week 7

For this week I realized after I submitted my annotated bibliography, I forgot to alphabetize them! Every week is a learning process and this week I messed up. Besides the hiccup of this week I had never completed a annotated bibliography, so this week had a slight learning curve. The researching we have been doing the past 6-7 weeks has helped a lot and I feel confident in my researching skills. The only thing I found that was hard was finding too many articles I wanted to use in a different language! There was an article that had  great point of view on my topic, but I couldn't find a translated version. Did anyone else have this problem?

Research Question;
Nature and Nurture. The age old question, which contributes more to adolescent eating disorders?
