This process has taught me a lot about using digital tools to conduct research and present the information in various other ways that I would not have considered before. With a science background, the majority of the information gathered is typically presented in a research paper with very few visual components. However, after creating this… Continue reading Reflection

Desegregation: I may be wrong about this, but I think that if you are citing the same source in the footnotes, you can use the same number for it. Like I said, I am not sure, but it is something you could look into because I know you were interested in shortening your footnotes on… Continue reading Comments on Websites

Jess and I have completed pretty much everything we had set out to complete up until this point. I have written and posted the Benefits of Fracking page (at least, I think I posted it). Jess has almost completed the resolution page, she has it on her computer and she is just waiting to post… Continue reading Milestone #3

We also have a few more interviews set up, as well as more to schedule, However, we don’t think it will be too crazy to accomplish this. As it is our Fall Break tomorrow, Jess has gone home for the weekend… Continue reading Slow and Hectic Week

Yesterday there was a COPLAC conference held at our school, and Jess and I were asked to attend a part of it for the honors program on campus. There was an art exhibit as well as poster presentations, and we decided that might be a fun part of the conference to attend. It turns out… Continue reading An unexpectedly lucky Friday the 13th

For our first milestone, Jess and I planned on setting up the website, creating page tabs and organizing the website, gathering our information and writing the pages we assigned ourselves, contacting students for permission to publish their research, and scheduling all our interviews. As we went around campus, we noticed that there wasn’t as much… Continue reading Milestone #1

With that said, we have been working on other aspects of the project and trying to get other things in line to… Continue reading Its been a crazy week
