Week 15 RJA

Reflection
Research has not always been one of my strong points. I consider myself to be a decent writer but not great at any type of research project. My focus in school is business. This class and this type of research will be useful in my career. Online research has always been scary, but the knowledge I gained from this class makes it easy. I have already used Diigo for another research paper I had to write. The search engines I used  for this class are also very helpful. Research is a lost art. With the knowledge we can get from the internet, this type of research will be all that is used in the future.

Week 14 RJA

 Application Project Progress Report
For my application project I have chosen to write an editorial about my topic. The extinction of the dinosaurs is one of the most controversial topics in the science world. The accepted theory was that an asteroid impact in what is now Mexico, caused the dinosaurs to go extinct. A small number of scientists have argued against this for years. Recent discoveries are now beginning to shed light on the possibility that it was two asteroid impacts in combination with volcanism and climate change that actually caused the extinction.
I have begun my editorial with only my arguments in mind. I recently discovered a new article on-line (and changed some of my paper because of it) that argues the same idea as I have. After reading this article my editorial has become a little easier.
I still have a lot of work to do on my editorial. Arguing my points is easy, but finding people and articles that agree with me is a little more difficult. All in all this editorial is turning out to be much easier than I originally though t it would be.
