Week 7, Assignment 2

      I am astonished! How much can a person missed if they are unequipped when doing some research? This week’s lecture, led me to believe, I was absolutely uncertain on what to do when citing my sources. I visited several web pages and to say the least, it was challenging to find all the information I needed to cite my sources.  I was fully confident of my research, the information provided on them and as I was almost finished wiring my paper, I was hit with the fact of listing my sources in APA style. Two web sites were the ones I have used in the past but through my previous community college. Learning how to navigate through the actual websites was not only a huge task but very frustrating. When visiting the Perdue OWL website, I found it a little frustrating, and decided to go with the Citation Machine Web page.  I had to navigate through it before getting to the place I really need to, the reason was, I was using youtube videos for my research and was not entirely sure on how to cite them. I ended up on the Citation Machine’s old version and that is I became familiar with it. 

      From this point on, I am certain, I am equipped with the correct tools to do not only good research, but to write a well written paper.  I have to admit, sometimes, frustration makes you realize that I was not as well prepared as I thought and there is always something new to learn that can help you in the long run.
