Progress Throughout the 2014 fall semester at the University of Evansville, I was enrolled in First Year Seminar with the topic title being: Sex, Love, and Lust. I enjoyed the class very much and I am very glad that I decided to take it. Throughout the course we wrote four papers, including a narrative, a response, a synthesis, and an argument. Each was difficult in its own way, but I managed to work through the issues I was having in the writing process and pull out with what I feel are really…

One of the most functional significance of field research is collecting first-hand data. However, nowadays, the method training for the field research is still inadequate. This week’s reading materials are presented guiding roles for IR students and scholars in this area: Christopher Lamont illustrates the importance of field research and he also introduces specific skills when the challenges occur; William S. Harvey notices several practical strategies of elite interview; and Lisa Harrison &…

Love and Research First Date. Those two words alone might have made you reminisce about some very awkward situations you might have suffered through or maybe even some pleasant ones.

Efforts towards understanding the growth mindset theory require a study of scholarly articles, with solid research and data. Unlike newspaper articles, scholarly articles provide research approaches that can relate with research outcomes; hence, providing a clear framework for policy design. This paper examines how a scholarly article is more fruitful in building applicable…

information my first thought would be to go on Google and search my topic. I now realize that if I want to find scholarly information that is peer edited the best places to check are online databases. Also, by using online databases I was able to approach academic research in a more efficient and effective way. I was not wasting my time looking into information that might or might not be accurate. Instead, I was able to spend my time sorting through a vast majority of articles relating to my…

The sources can be journals, books, websites or periodicals. Bibliographic information contains following information: Author Title Publisher However, information contained in Bibliography may differ depending on the writing style used. Annotation…

The Publication Process: The New England Journal of Medicine The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) is the world’s leading medical journal (NEJM, n.d.).
