Blog Post #1 ID130 Myself

I decided to take ID 130 because I thought it was associated with research papers, so I though I would get myself reaquainted with research papers, which I haven't done in a while. I could say that I took if becasue I needed one more unit, but then again that's why everyone else probably took the class, hahahaha. What I hope to learn by the end of the course is to make a more advanced research paper than previous papers, with more sources and more core related websites and books. I hope to get myself more motivated this time around to find more sources than previous attempts. Doing research can be very time consuming and frustrating, but can also be very fun. The fun comes from what you're researching, what are you interested in by that assigned topic, because everyone has an interest, what's yours? Try to make it more about what you learned and how to tell it like a story, like my research paper on the ancient gods of Egpyt. I love ancient mythology, that was the fun for me, so I took the research in a more fun way because I love learning about the gods and ancient creatures. My experience depends on what I'm researching, that way you can pour your heart into it because you love your topic and want to get your point across, the fun lies in the final presemntation, showing people how cool your topic and research is, making them interested in looking up that topic themselves, making them motivated to learn what you learned.

  1. Welcome to the class, Kevin. I'm looking forward to reading more about the sources you find on your topic -- for which you have a lot of enthusiasm. Great!
