Frustration and Confusion

Assignment #3 has been by far the most frustrating assignment so far. Having to choose a single major debatable topic, finding primary and secondary sources, and finally deciding where i stand on the topic; all of these steps have been difficult. There are so many options to choose from when it came to the topic, any law can be debated and both sides have their reasoning behind it. Finding the sources were difficult too, not only because it was hard to find a legitimate one but the use of google scholar was a bad one. It was a waste of time, it would bring me to websites that required a membership to access. Even though I know where i stand on my topic, its hard to write the assignment only because i understand the other side of the argument. Overall, i like the challenge of the assignment and the challenge of making an argument that anyone can debate on.

  1. I totally agree with you! I still haven't gotten the idea on how this paper has to be done. I am having a lot of confusing since my is in the scientifical discourse.

  4. For the most part, I will say that most of us are having a difficult time with this assignment due to the fact that we must take a stance on one side or the other. It's a bit discouraging that in order to have a well written essay we must pick one side, we can't agree with both equally.

  5. Yes, I agree with you 100 %. This is one of the few papers throughout college that is the most difficult for me. Research/ primary and secondary sources take a lot of work to build up. Its all about staying positive and working through it!
