Thoughts on the Essay

As far as the essay is concerned I think that I am well prepared. My powerpoint, the starting line for the essay needs a little work, but I am confident that my information will be helpful in the group project and the essay. The research has been done, now all I need to do is organize the information.

In regards to what needs more work on the essay, my theory and explanations could use some attention. My theory seems clear to me, but from the comments I have received, it is still a little vague and could use some detail. The same goes for my examples. The examples could use a little more information regarding how they relate to my topic, and how they affect my theory. It is easy to say that literature is changing, it is much harder to explain what aspects of the internet are creating those changes. With a little more attention paid to the details I think that I can come out with a very good project.

My Topic So Far

So far my topic is still a little rough around the edges. Some areas need a little tweaking to make them more clear, and a little attention needs to be paid to the details of the topic.

Other than that I think that the research is going quite well, and the topic is proving to be very interesting. It has gotten to the point of having more information than I really want, but that is not really a problem. I am definitely going to change some of the examples in the Powerpoint, which will change some of the content, but not the topic as a whole. A little reorganization of some of the points couldn't hurt either.

The topic is proving to be far more complex than I expected when I chose it. I won't be able to address all of the aspects of web-based literature and internet authorship, but there are so many, it won't matter. Overall, the research is going well, and there should be a lot more interesting information to work with once all the gathering and bookmarking on diigo is complete.
