IA assistance


I hope your summer is going well. Please remember that the best way to keep your stress levels down is to avoid procrastination. If you have any questions about the IA, please feel free to post here.

UPDATE: Many of you have done a great job of getting started on your IA. Congratulations on avoiding the procrastination bug. For those of you who have not started, it isn't too late. In the next four weeks you need to have your sources and done some of your research. If you are having difficulties finding sources, start by googling your key topic words with the word bibliography. The other spot that isn't a bad starting point is the bottom of a wikipedia page. After you get a list of sources, try googling each individual author prior to buying or borrowing the book. Additionally, reading Amazon reviews can be helpful as well. However, this should give you some background on the credibility of the author. When we get back to class, we will talk about the next steps. I hope this helps.
