Research Journal, Part 4

For the five practice questions:
1. Vegan vs. Meat? I might check out some official websites of a nutritionist to start and see what opinions they give and why. I also might check any books they would recommend.
2. Forcing musicians to alter lyrics at Target. Maybe start with an Academic Journal to see what laws their might be and popular magazines because it seems that if it were censorship it could be a legal question but then they have the choice to put there music there or somewhere else. I would be interested in what the fans think so I would see if there are any blogs about it as well.
3.How much more can a college grad expect to earn? I have seen some websites that show what a college grad is expected to earn over a high school diploma and I believe they were based on government statistics so I would look there first and see what their source is. I would follow it to the original source to see where there is one based on government statistics just because I know I've seen it. Maybe a government website on jobs.
4. Should educators use commercial services to combat plagiarism? People/educators to see what their opinion is since it directly affects them and how they do their job. Do we really need it here at Clark where we have such wonderful students or would it be a waste of money?
5. Current lack of sunspots affecting global warming. Academic Journals to see if it really is a problem and if there is opposing viewpoints and what they base their information on.

  1. Hi, Karen:

    I think you worked through these questions very logically. One suggestion for the sunspot question might be websites/blogs run by scientists since they will be discussing the recent findings/events.
