web conference - October 15, 2011

I attended the Saturday, October 15, web conference with Dr. Abernathy speaking and Dawn Kirkland, the IA, also in attendance. Some questions arose about APA since the IA hold told one person in our Skype group that all the citations had to be direct quotes. According to Dr. Abernathy, this is not correct. Scholarly writing does allow for both paraphrasing citations and direct quote citations. In addition, questions arose about how to submit our class reflections, since many of us had followed the advice from the very first web conference – not to write about each of the class activities. We had followed the Professor’s directions to reflect on the reflection, but received failing grades because we did not list out all the class activities. This is still a little unclear, but at this point I will do what the grader wants. It was also clarified that our field based activities need to match up with our internship plan.

There was also a doorbell, FEDEX man, talk of taxes and ibuprofen and pain meds. Personally, I take them all, but not for too long or too much. I just change them up enough to avoid the bad effects.
