D#2, HW#11 - Deadline Reflection

The work in this deadline contributed to course outcomes 1, 4, and 6. After examining my rhetorical situation I began looking for research sources. I did a LOT of searching, and learned better how to search more efficiently, and how to recognize how/why one source may be better/worse than another. I also began using APA style reference documentation. Hopefully by the end of the class I will be thoroughly familiar, and not have to reference Wadsworth every time I need to write a bibliographic entry. In completing this deadline, I learned that RESEARCH IS TIME CONSUMING! I will be on the lookout for opportunities how to research more efficiently so as to save some time for myself. Part of the time consumption involved in research is weeding out bad sources from good. I commented something to this effect on one of my classmate's blogs. Looking at my peer's blogs, I could gauge my progress against theirs', thus helping me assess my strengths/weaknesses. I am spending large portions of days working on this class, but still coming out behind at the end of the day. I will just have to keep working through the material to get caught up. I also started dialogs with my peers that will develop into useful feedback relationships.
