Week 4 - Journal

Part 1. Reflections on Course Content
The readings for this week were very informative. I really enjoyed them and I especially liked the Theories of Knowledge because I never looked at the information in our lives in that way. How I Know - Part 1 was difficult because it was tough deciding which website was correct about the word Canuck. How I Know - Part 2 was a lot of fun because it put what I know and what I don't know into perspective. The Research Plan really helped in my topic this week so that I may not have to change it because I am actually finding information. The Selecting information sources was very informative in what I need to use in my research project. I see how each week adds into the next week's work. Each week has gotten me a lot farther with my topic because I was having difficulty in the beginning.

Part 2. Applications to your Life
I actually did not run into problems this week. If anything this week's work has helped me get farther with my topic and I am actually finding information that I need. I really liked reading "Critically Analyzing Information Sources", this will come in real handy as I continue my research. It will help in making sure that my information is a fact and not an opinion.
I am so proud of myself because I follow my calendars, my schedule, and daily planner and it has really helped me with my stress and time management. I am able to be a mom, work, keep up on housework, keep up on homework and get things done. I really don't sleep a whole lot but that comes with being a mom of four. Got to do my homework after we have had family time and the children are put to bed. I get so much more accomplished on my homework when the house is quiet and I don't have repeated interruptions.
