Another
interesting week in this class. As read through the assignments and
looked through all of the rules, I couldn't help but think that one
has to be really careful as you're reading research and making notes
about where some of the ideas and quotes come from. I find as I'm
reading and making notes I'm a great deal more mindful not only of
what I'm reading but of the ideas that I get as I read about
particular subjects. This part, in particular, has been extremely
helpful for me as I have a tendency to generate different ideas when
I read things and keeping a note of what was the basis for an
especially good train of thought id very good, not only for being
able to get back to it, but also to now be able to cite the
particular work or works, in some cases, that spun those ideas out of
me.
That's
a good question about losing access to the library once I graduate.
Though, in some respects, that may not be for a while as I'm likely
to continue on to at least a masters. Though that may not be at
Brandman, but then, I'd have another library to access. But having
the information on the open access articles could be a very useful
tool. Probably quite a good one as I move into teaching not only as a
resource for myself, but for my students.
I
don't know that anything was unclear. Though I did find a piece of
advice, where I don't remember, ( I know, bad citation....)to be
quite helpful. If you're not sure if you should cite, you probably
should. I think asking yourself that question is probably the most
useful as it makes you really look at the source you have to really
examine how much is transefering into what you're writing.
