a look at a students work

The final project is clearly separated into set sections that cannot all be viewed at once. This seems like a good idea so that not everything gets mixed together and doesn't make much of any sense. Her work is very indepth and well written. I really like her use of an opening quote that starts everything out in the right mind frame. This shows me how I need to figure out how I would like to organize my work. I could set it up like hers in separate areas or have it all in one section.

The excerpt from Nickel and Dimmed shows all aspects of what I need to be doing for my final project. The interview, research, observations, and a splash of background are all mixed together. I like the way it just flows so naturally which is something i should really work on. The author makes this a very easy read. I can follow the writing without being pulled into multiple sidetracks. I can use this piece to situate my writing so that all 3 essays written so far will combined smoothly.

As I continue to conduct my research and my observations, I have noticed one big thing missing. I do not have any set rules or regulations set for the Corps of Cadets yet. The gentleman in the special collections section of the library mentioned something about how he had all of the rule books for the cadets dating back to the beginning. I will need to get ahold of these books so I can have more accurate information. As for my site, the routines are very visible (I mean they are cadets on set schedules). The basically have to do the same things everyday which makes it easy to catch on to everything they do.
