citations

The citation challenge that we did in class really helpful for remembering how to cite sources. It’s been a while since I had to cite a source on a research paper or any other paper that required a work cited page. Though I don’t remember it that well, there is a website that may or may not help. Its http://easybib.com/ and it lets you cite all your sources for free. The only bad thing is that only MLA style is free. It puts them in alphabetical order. All that is required is that you have all the information from your source. Then you select the type of source that you are using, website, book, ect., and that you fill in the blanks.

Second Post

For our second assignment we have pick a topic to evaluate. Picking a topic was difficult at first because there are many topics to evaluate. However, I wanted to choose something that I thought was important topic to be evaluated. I choose to evaluate Sheriff Joe Arpio on his recent immigration sweeps and his position as a sheriff. After picking my topic, I needed to set some values of what I thought would be a good sheriff. Next, I had to do some research on the computer. I took a while, but after finding the right words to use as my search all the information I needed to be able to evaluate my topic.
