Moon Landing

The website I did for the evaluation practice was the top ten reasons the moon landing was fake. They provided information that seems like they might have a somewhat reasonable arguement but they didn't provide sources they used or credentials on the authors. Once you get to the bottom, they try to sell DVD's that cover the topic more. The motives behind the website kind of discredit it. They could make up facts to make their arguement better to sell their DVD's. I believe that we actually did land on the moon. It has been too long for a hoax to still be a secret. I also don't think the government would risk their reputation by faking the landing.

Library visit

I liked going to the library for class because instead of a ten minute walk to LaFollete in the cold it was only about three minutes to the library. I vote that we move class to the library every day. The presentation covered a lot of the stuff we covered on the trip there in 103 . I did learn a few things though. I didn't know about the inter-library loan program before. It's good to know that you can get a book even if our library doesn't have it. I think the ease of contacting a librarian with any questions is very helpful. There are many ways to ask small questions and get quick answers and can schedule a conference for bigger questions. It's a resource I will most likely be using during the annotated bibliography project.

Topic Proposal Conference

When I went to my conference on my topic proposal I only had about a page and a half for the project. The conference really helped with knowing what else to add to my paper. I didn't have enough about what aspect of cystic fibrosis I wanted to focus on. After the conference, I realized the aspect I really wanted to focus on was care-giving to a child with cystic fibrosis since it is something I could face in the future. I also added more to my personal story of how cystic fibrosis has affected my life. It was still hard to make the paper four pages because I felt like stretching the paper anymore would make it start to lose its meaning. I ended up with about three and a half pages.
