Good enough

Its okay for your first draft to be crappy.

No paper is perfect, just settle for good enough. 

Even Mark Twain's work is not perfect. 

I need to wright a first draft and write it to be as good as possible.

Living sources.

-Your list of questions are more of a guideline you will most likely stray away from your list of questions.
-Before writing your surveys you should define the goals and audience.
-You can create an online survey using surveymonkey.com.
I plan to interview a couple of my friends face to face and ask them specific questions regarding facebook.
I also plan on creating a survey on surveymonkey and using facebook to send the survey to my friends. With facebook I can tell them why they should do my survey and what not.

Lit review Reflections

1. From the first draft of the lit reveiw I learned what actually should be included. I learned what I need to do to complete that portion of my paper. I am missing most of the content of the lit review.
2. The paper needs a lit review section to introduce your sources. This part will discuss other peoples research on a similar topic. It is a justification of our work.
3. The research in most of my articles is new information to me. I would like to talk about communictaion among college students and social networks. The other researchers I have looked at discuss similar but different topics.
4. I would like to interview friends and other current students on their social networking use. I also would like to observe their use. Their communication with other people is important to my research.

He says she says

I read chapter three and four wasn't included in the reading so I couldn't read it. One of the main points in chapter three is that you need to frame your quotations. When you frame the quotes you introduce them properly. You also need to explain a quote thoroughly before moving on to a new topic. Another main point is a way to introduce your quotations. The author gives you a list of example ways to introduce quotes. The author also give you a list of ways to explain quotations. The last main point is where the author tells you about over explaining a quote. He says in contrast though, it is better to over analyze than under explain a quote. These is helpful for my writing because I will have more ways to introduce and explain quotations. He also tells me how to frame a quote so it can be introduced and such.

How is twitter affecting college students communication in the US today vs. 2005 before it's invention?

I am writing about twitter and the culture that surrounds it. I will focus on trends and other things associated with twitter. I am wrting for non-twitter users (people who don't really know about twitter) to see how people interact on twitter vs. 2005 when twitter was being born. I assume that people are more involved in twitter speaking there mind on their than talking to their friends about their  issues. I hope to know why people vent on twitter, what makes twitter so apealing, and why people dedicate a lot of their time to it. I will interview people who have twitter, I will look at my twitter news feed, observe and take notes.

How is twitter affecting communication today?

My research question listed above is very interesting to me. It interests me because I can't image life without twitter facebook and texting. My parents grew up fine without any of those things and now life for every person my age revolves around them. This topic does not relate to my disipline, because I really cannot think of a math topic that I am interested at the moment. There should be lots of accurate information to answer my question. This topic is easy to collect data from, all I have to do is log into my twitter account and take notes about trends and stuff. I feel like a lot of people aren't using my topic, but they should because it is very interesting.
