Last post in regards to research

my first experience with blogging for this course....not bad at all. i appreciate all the comments left for me. being that this is our last day to post, i wanted to give an update on my research. Basically what i'm doing is just revising (adding/substracting ideas) and making sure the paper flows well.
i also looked back at my prospectus today and a few comments.....i'm happy to say that i followed through with how i said i was going to approach this project, i was able to contact the author, which at first i thought would of been really difficult but it was not and the interview went very well. For the sources that i mentionned in the prospectus i listed 5, in the end only 2 would be usefull plus one extra book that i stumbled upon that i did not list.

For Owen and others ....

Thank you for leaving a comment Owen, in regards to my oral presentation I think it went okay..... It was not my first oral presentation at concordia, however it was my first power point presentation. I'm still waiting for feedback from the prof and no classmates got the chance to say anything to me in class so ....classmates if you had any comments about my oral feel free to leave the comment (good or bad) on the blog.

To be very honnest i do not like doing oral presentations because i tend to have difficulty cutting down information

In regards to the interview questions I sent to the author Jennifer Ryan I don't think I did a great job at getting her answers across so i will direct everyone to a site where she posted my questions along with her answers. These are the same questions i went over during the oral presentation. Here is the site:
