Research

When my instructors first assign a writing assignment I usually like to pick topics that I'm familiar with. Most of the time my topics will involve the medical field some way or another,because that is what I 'm most familiar with. When I start to do my research I will go to google and get as much valuable information from different websites as I can. I also like to check out books related to my topic from the library at my job. since instructor Medley has taught me to do research with Purdue's online library I can also use that. I also like to use key words so I can get even more information when I'm doing my research. The difference between MLA and APA style writing is Mla writing is primarily for liberal arts and humaniteis. APA is used more for the social sciences

Reflection letter about my hypertext essay

Well I think there would be all kinds of people interested in my essay. I'm not trying to be concieted or anything, but look at the controversy over cognitive enhancers.The types of people who would be interested in my essay the most would be doctors, anybody who is interested in taking brain enhancing drugs , anyone who is already taking these drugs , peole who have tried the brain enhancing drugs, and anybody who is against people taking these medications. Doctors because they are the ones prescribing these medications to their patients. The other people would be interested because they can find interesting facts about these drugs they want to take or already are taking. If they are already taking them it may make them think twice about doing it anymore. The people against other people taking brain enhancers would be happy to see someone like myself against it also. People on the web will be able to read my essay easily without having to strain thier eyes. People will be able to see a different point of view. Most people are for all kinds of brain enhancers I'm not. I'm most proud of the fact that I have done something that I have never done before, and my essay came out alright thanks to my fellow classmates who have helped me on it. (you know who you are) A special thanks to professor Medley you have helped me greatly. I would have wrote better responses. Mine were O.K. but others were better. I would have also put more links in my responses Not be so dependent on people to help me with all the technical stuff in my essay. I would have also made my backgrounds pop more. The sourses I used were imformative for what I was writing about. I feel that my sourses gave the people who will read my essay insight to an ever growing epidemic that may or may not be here for good. My goals are to become a better writer by the end of this semester,more computer literate, be able to revise my papers by myself with little help. Putting an essay for the world to see and read is a huge accomplishment for me and my fellow classmates. As I already have stated doing things for the first time is really something for me to be proud of. Some of my shortcomings in drafting and revising is I use the word it a lot instead of going into more detail. I also don't feel I have the best writing skills. I also don't go into enough detail for my readers, so they can understand what I'm trying to say without having to think about it. hope to retain what I have learned so far in this class for the next assignment we are doing.

Life photos

The photo I chose from Life Magazine was a woman holding a baby. I could tell by the picture that the woman was playing with the baby and making her laugh. I feel the picture relates to pathos because most people get emotional around babies. Babies are cute,cudley and just pure enjoyment. People also love to play with babies get them to laugh, smile throw their hands in the air they get a kick out of it. http://www.stdc.demon.co.uk/felicia/
