14: Reflecting on What You Learned

When I signed up for this class I didn’t know what to really expect. Then after a few weeks I really started to learn a lot. I learned so much about the internet and different search tools. I learned how to improve my searches and how to specify exactly what I wanted in the search window and almost every time what I wanted appeared. Before this class I never blogged or visited anyone else’s blog, so I learned that they can really be informative. I also re-learned how to write a good research paper and how to site my sources within my paper.
I still have 60 more hours to go for my degree, so I know I’ll have to write more papers. I think this class has prepared me to write more and better papers. I also think this class has helped me to write better reports at work. Overall, I thought this was a great class and it taught me a lot about writing the proper way.

13: Reporting on the Application Project

My application project is going to be a short story. My story will start two days prior to a body building contest. It will include everything that a bodybuilder must do and go through to prepare for the main event. It will then close with the day show and night show.
Right now I have pretty much all of my research done. I have interviewed some bodybuilders on everything they do a few days before their show. I also looked on the internet on some IFBB pro bodybuilders to see some of the things they do.
All I have to do now is put my story together. I have to put the all of information together and figure how exactly I want to right my story. I also have to put together my work cited page.
