So chapter 10 is on selecting and integrating evidence. Ok, so basically this chapter is here to tell us how to evaluate our resources and how to put them in our papers. We extensively talked about in class how to find our audience and purpose and this is the very first part of the chapter so I just skimmed over it to make life simple. It then goes into how to timeline, relevance, and other aspects of a paper. I know that without relevance in a source or even a paper for that fact that it is not credible and there fore is not very useful. It talks about criteria and how it can be used to consider evidence as well. The chapter continues to review how to get proper resources as evidence and making sure you get proper sources. We have gone over this in class as well so I again skimmed. The rest of the chapter goes over evidence and is still completely boring.
Alright, now chapter 11. This chapter is over sharing the results and goes over getting the final paper together, design of the paper, and intros and conclusions. This chapter did not interest me in any sort what so ever and I dont need to read on to see how to make a concept map of ideas because i have been doing them since i was in the 2nd grade. Continuing on how to present and organize this chapter goes into great unnecessary detail. Then comes intros and conclusions. I have heard this same talk about how to catch an audience and bring them into your paper in the intro and how to sum up everything in a conclusion that i truly do not need to read this in great detail.
I didnt know what essay to read so when i find out ill blog something on it....as for now im done
yeah. i thought the part about relevant sources was very appropriate. it is difficult sometimes to find sources that are 100% reelvant to a research topic. sometimes you have to just settle for a relevant chapter or paragraph. sometimes, to get to the required number of sources, i will use several sources in the beginning of the paper. i tend to rely on maybe two or three heavily and use the rest sporadically. just a thought. take it or leave it.
