My Biggest obstacles for the final project
I think that one of the problems that i might have would be time and organization. I have decided to try and interview each person twice maybe one in person and once have them answer some questions down on paper just in case i think of something new or i forget to ask them a question that may be important for my argument.I have a good idea as to what I want to argue about I'm just afraid that i might go off topic a bit and start to turn the paper around and write it all about me and what i think. Sometimes I forget to include sources or cite quotes from people. Another huge thing would be organization, when i write i write down exactly what I'm thinking and i don't put my thoughts into certain categories. I could be talking about my thesis in the first paragraph and decide to add more to it in another paragraph on another page that has nothing to do with what i was talking about in the beginning.

Sounds good, Keisha.
ReplyDeleteTime and organization are ALWAYS issues - I still grapple with them on a daily basis : )
Maintaining focus in a project like this is never easy. What YOU think is important here - you want to use the ideas of the interviewees and the sources to support your larger point/argument. Always go back and re-read what you just wrote, and ALWAYS ask: how does this relate to my main point? If it does not relate, you may have to change it - or you may have to adapt your main point a bit. But this sort of constant self-assessment can help you stay on track.
