  How have you approached doing research and finding sources for previous research papers? How do you know a source is credible? How do you decide what information or quotations to use from a source? What advice have you been given from previous classes or professors that help make the research process easier? Aim for about 150 words


In the past I have approached doing research from a few angles, typically a google or google scholar based ChatGBT search when it was applicable for me to do so as well as personally going to school provided library databases. I know a source is credible if it is peer reviewed, amongst other things. Since I am typically researching a topic I know nothing about I typically use a good bit of information provided within my resources. Since it is typically not common knowledge I paraphrase or give credit in many large sections of many of my writings. I typically only quote if I find words used exactly as needed by reliable sources. I can not say I have been given too much advice/ feedback since I have written less than 5 (I believe this is my 4th?) research papers, two of which the same topic, though at very different stages of my academic career.

Da Blog Starter- My Writing Self

 Reading Blog Template  Summary: My writing self in limited words Comment (150) Question      My name is Trevor D. Perdieu. I am 19 years of age, I am a sophomore, and my major is Business undecided. I am in this class because of its requirement, but also because I want to learn how to improve my writing. I have a great many weaknesses and cannot communicate them all within such a limited space. To be brief, I have dysgraphia, which is similar-ish to dyslexia. I do not have accommodations due to needing to be retested. essentially, my handwriting is horrendous, and I mix up letters and words. I can be looking at a dog but be thinking about birds, and then call said dog a bird. It happens all the time and is why I stumble on some of the words I speak. Separately, I also have a tendency to capitalize letters in the middle of a sentence, which is unexplainable. Something that would help me in this class would be simply understanding that my pace of learning and tes...

Final Blog

  Your final blog post is a reflective one. Go back to your first blog post, where you introduced yourself as a student and set a goal for class. Now that you're coming to the end of this class, what has changed for you as a student? What do you feel more confident in now than you did at the beginning of class? Were you able to meet your goal (or do you think you will by the end of the semester)? Why or why not? What is one skill you developed or improved that you will use throughout the remainder of your time at CNU? Aim for 150 words. There are many things that have changed for me as a student and as a person. I now know that major I want to partake in, instead of being business undecided, I am going to declare major to be accounting with a minor in leadership. Some of the things I feel more confident in, besides in general, are my some of interpreting and reading skills. I believe this class has allowed me to open up and be able to understand the world around me more than I had ...

Avatar the last airbender follows a group of children on their quest to reach the north pole, while avoiding an evil fire wizard, to help one of them learn magic tricks. in the episodes we see back stories from both the children and the fire wizard who in all don't seem to be that different from each other. The episodes are Kernels to the plot of the story and allows us to understand how the characters act. our readings describe television narrative structure, thinks like kernels, so that we can label discuss and dissect aspects in a show.   When Zukos mom disappeared, the fire lord at the time said that his son, zukos father, should pay for insisting that he being the next fire lord. I am unaware what actually happens after that but i theorize that the mother was a sacrifice/ send away due to needing to toughen up zuko in some way shape or form.  believe this to be a satellite due to how any aspect of how it the action generally happened would still have the same affect ...
