Get Thee to the Library

Research can be rewarding, but don't expect it to be easy. Become familiar with the library, not just by hanging out virtually on the website, but also by physically going to the bricks-and-mortar building, otherwise know as Bracken Library. Locate three print sources for your topic proposal bibliography. Don't give up and then claim there are no print sources related to your topic. I will prove you wrong. The library offers many ways of asking for help before you even enter the building, so ask for help online if you need it.

All Blogs Are Listed

Now you should be able to find a blog link for all 24 students in the class. Write, read, comment, and get to know each other!

The Blogroll is Up

I'm still missing a couple URLs, but most of the blogs are listed to the right. You might notice that the blog names, for the most part, are not too exciting. You don't have to identify yourself by name, but you could come up with something a little more creative. To change your blog title, just go to "customize," which is next to "new post," and then edit your title name.

Remember to follow this blog and to follow the blogs of your classmates. I've made comments already, so, yes, folks, I truly am reading them.

Welcome to our class blog!

Welcome to our class blog, a public forum for discussion, reflection, and links to information related to rhetoric and research. Coming soon is a blogroll of all the student blogs for this class. Students will be reflecting on their research process, which will include readings from The Bedford Researcher, Third Edition, other assigned readings, and their adventures along the fascinating--and sometimes frustrating--journey of inquiry.
