Research Methods & Data Analysis 

This assignment required us write a 5 paragraph essay in the span of 80 minutes using 2 sources. This was mainly to help us practicie writing overall and to prepare us for writing our Lit Review. The assignment was about fracking and why it is was either a good or bad form of gaining energy. It was our job to look through the sources and determine if the benefits outweighed the cons or vice versa. Although this assignment was somewhat stressful due to the tight time limit, it was still somewhat manageable, since the sources weren't 

This assignemnt was mainly to help us practice our formal writing through finding a variety of sources and practicing thesis writing. This was also to help write our literature review for our captstones. This assignment allowed us to write about any topic that we wanted. Although it took a while for me to think of topic that meant a lot for me, I decided to write about a game I liked: Bioshock. I wrote mainly about what made Bioshock so good and why it still has a lasting impact today. Unbeknownst to me, I would end up writing a lot more than I previously expected, with me nearly writing 6 whole pages about it without having it double spaced. This is due to me simply having a lot of fun writing it since it was based on a topic a actually cared about and wanted to talk about in some way, and I wholeheartedly believe its one of my best works.  

This assignment was very similar to the writing assessment from marking period 1. For this, we also only had 80 minutes to write and essay answering a question. This specific writing task was about mental health, and how its important in terms of the youth. We were given 3 documents that we could use, all about an aspect of mental health in the youth. This assignment was quite challenging overall due to the articles being fairly long, with all of them being 8 pages or more in length. This made it somewhat challenging to write the essay, overall, due to the there being so much to read.

The assignment was a compilation of a rough draft for my group's Literature Review. During the weeks prior to the project, we were working on the lit review one section at a time. The literature review had 4 sections in total, with there also being a section for the introduction. This rough draft is the culmination of all these sections. The main issue we had during writing would definitely be our citations, as we had a hard time managing them and making sure that all of our links were there.
