Directions: Post all answers for both sections to your blog.
Watch the Boolean presentation before completing this exercise.
The following candies are records in your database. They have the following properties:
Twix contain chocolate, cookie, and caramel
Caramel Kisses chocolate and caramel
Snickers contain chocolate, caramel, and nuts
Kit Kat contain chocolate and cookie
Caramels contain caramel (!)
What would be the results of the following search statements?
Example: If my Boolean statement is Chocolate AND Caramel, the results in my candy database (those candies that contain both chocolate and caramel) would be Twix, Caramel kisses, & Snickers. Now you try it:
1. Caramel NOT Nuts = twix, caramel kisses, and caramels
2. Chocolate OR Caramel = twix, caramel kisses, snickers, kit kat, caramels
3. (Chocolate AND Caramel) NOT Cookie = caramel kisses, snickers
4. Chocolate OR Nuts = twix, caramel kisses, snickers, kit kat
5. Cookie AND Chocolate = twix, kit kat
6. Chocolate NOT Caramel = kit kat
7. Nuts OR Caramel = twix, caramel kiss, snickers, caramels
*We highly recommend that you use this exercise as an excuse to eat candy. The candy pieces are the records in your (chocolaty) database!

Essay one
After I watched the Advanced Formats Presentation, I feel really regret that I didn’t watch this video earlier. When I was writing essays for other class, the professor always ask us to use reference in our writing; such as books, school articles and journal to support my idea. And I just search my topic and claims by google, then find something related and linked to my essay. I cannot properly evaluate my searched website and wasted many time. There are many differences between a scholarly journal article and a website. However, I used to think that scholarly journal articles and websites are almost the same, just appear in different places. But now I have a clearly recognize that these two things are different.
As the “Advanced Formats Presentation” says that “Web sites, to some, signify ‘junk’ information.” While the “printed book, journals and newspapers, signify reliable, quality information to them”.
The scholarly journals’ articles are known as peer-reviewed, academic, refereed, or professional journals. The characters of scholarly journal can be separated from different parts. First of all, the author is researcher or scholar in the field and famous; such as professor in Harvard University. Secondly, the audiences are other scholars and professionals or students who familiar with the field, not people with few education. And the purpose for scholarly journals is not for commercial use or trade, but to report original research, experiment, or theories. And it cited its sources clearly in the references list.
In other words, a scholarly journal should have a nice general title and give us detail of content, such as references list; also some specific authors mentioned and affiliations with known reliable sources. We can conclude as clean authorship, a specific date, brief but fairly substantial and useful information for academic writing. Government documents can be used in scholarly journals also. Scholarly journals are some available online and they have their own web sites too. So we cannot say scholarly journals are absolutely inked and printed.
We need reliable information in our academic research, so we don’t need “off limits” web sites which is unsuitable and useless in our research. The website with many ads is not trustworthy for academic research. The purpose for that website is to sell stuff rather than offer you academic knowledge. Uncertain authority and very sloppy references is main characters of an “off limits” website. Blogs is important and widely used today, but we cannot use personal blogs as a college-level research source. These social networks are very easy to recognize, so you don’t want to use people’s diary in Facebook or MySpace as a support sources. But we can still find sources for academic writing in web sites. A website with a .org or .edu may more reliable than others in research. There is a link “about us” tells the information about who created this website and response for the article it posted. By checking these, we can decided if it is “off limits” or suitable for use.

Exercise—Topic Development and Research Questions
Part I. Good Question/Bad Question
Read the following and decide whether or not you think each is a good research question. Briefly explain your answer. If you think a question is weak, explain how you would make it stronger.
Ø What happened in the Darfur region of Western Sudan this past year?
I think it's a good research question because it's not too narrow or too broad.
Ø Did news coverage of the poor conditions at the U.S. Military’s Walter Reed Medical Center result in improved care of the veterans housed there?
I think it may be a good research question but I'm not sure.
Ø Did Germany invade Poland during the Second World War?
I think this is a weak question. The results of the answer to this question will be simply "yes" or "no". I will search “Explain how Germany invaded Poland during the Second World War.” in order to get better results.
Ø Does the media cause eating disorders in women?
It is an interesting topic but we can narrow it simply add the age of women.
Ø Is there evidence that vocational training programs in California prisons impact recidivism (re-offense) rates?
Good question.
I will search as: "Does vocational training programs in California prisons lower recidivism(re-offense) rates and how?"
Part II: Answer the following questions.
1. When you’re developing a research topic, you should be able to talk for one minute about that topic. Explain why, and how you’d prepare yourself.
When we have something to say, one minute seems to pass very quick just like one second. We need to have some knowledge of the thing we want to say and get enough information about it. Then when we talk about it, it's really easy.
I will remember the main facts and some important claim when I prepare.
2. Describe some ways you can narrow the focus of a research topic.
Narrow a topic is easy to me. When I'm writing about something, I always focus on certain opinion, or focus on the keyword, age, country, time period, etc.

Plagiarism & Citation Assignment
Directions: Post all answers to the questions below to your personal blog by the stated due date.
Put yourself in your professor's shoes. Sometimes students hand in work that just doesn't look like student writing! Your job for the next three questions is to find out whether all or part of these examples were cut and pasted from a website. If so, paste the url of the website that was plagiarized below the writing sample. If not, just write "not plagiarized."
Note: you can google an exact phrase by putting it in " " (quotation marks) in the search box.
1. Student writes:
"Athough electronic health records can save health professionals time and cut hospital costs, implementing these systems will be a challenge. Many hospitals cannot afford them, and physician resistance and the lack of universal standards are also reasons cited by hospitals for not instituting these systems. President Obama’s economic stimulus package, which includes 19 billion for e-health records, might be enough to overcome the barriers to adopting these technologies”

2. Student writes:
"The controversial issue of global warming has troubled society for many years now. Although some believe that it is a hoax, others view global warming as the greatest challenge of our time. While global warming is a complex issue that some have used to manipulate consumers, it must be taken seriously as the bulk of scientific evidence points to the reality of this phenomenon, which can dramatically alter our climate.”

3. Student writes:
“Twitter, a so-called micro-blogging service has taken off over the past year. Users may post messages about their status, their moods, their location and other tidbits on Twitter. Most popular among young adults, Twitter has also been used by savvy marketers to inform users about products, and even by journalists who use it as a quick method of sharing story coverage.”

Read the paragraphs below. Bold or italicize the sentences that are NOT common knowledge and therefore need a citation. Insert the in-text citation using the information you’ll find in the reference list entry for each paragraph.
8. Global warming is the increase in the Earth’s temperature as the result of greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere. Because of global warming, the average temperature of the Earth could rise as much as 8 degrees, causing sea levels to rise up to 23 inches over this century. (Zakaria,2007). I believe that we all have a responsibility to help prevent global warming. A recent report suggests that just by using more efficient appliances, we can have a significant impact on carbon emissions that affect global warming. (Zakaria,2007).

9. It’s no secret that the American population is getting fatter, in spite of our cultural obsession with fitness. Public health officials have expressed concern that the obesity “epidemic” is striking Americans of all ages, from very young children to older adults, and are looking to community groups to conduct outreach with at-risk groups. (Turner, 2007) Through such efforts we can only hope for a healthier future.

10. Cancer is certainly a terrible disease, and researchers are hard at work attempting to find treatments and cures. However, it can be difficult for patients to figure out what is a legitimate treatment and what is the modern-day equivalent of snake oil, and it can be a source of stress to already burdened patients figuring out what is real medicine. Lowering the levels of copper in the body, eating a specialized organic, vegetarian, macrobiotic diet, and an Irish light therapy are just the kinds of experimental treatments that may have patients and their families scratching their heads.

Practice paraphrasing the following passages. Remember, it is not enough to rearrange the sentence a little and change a few words here and there. Starting from scratch, restate the idea with a completely different sentence structure and completely different words. Don’t forget your citation!
11. To ensure that the students use high-quality information when writing a term paper, professors might require students to find credentials for the authors of Web sites they cite. Figuring out who authored Web content, their backgrounds, motivations, or points of view may constitute a good lesson in critical thinking in itself. Teaching students how to critique the quality of Web sites and evaluate the quality and accuracy of information will help them in their post-academic futures.

When students do a high-quality writing, they need to citation others' work. It is necessary to mark the author and other basic information when we do cite. To learn this skill is important for student's study.

12. Scientists have been searching for the cause of Alzheimer's disease for more than 100 years, and during that time, theories about why brain cells are destroyed in the course of the illness have come and gone. One of the newer and more unorthodox theories posits that Alzheimer's may actually be a form of diabetes. Some experts have even taken to calling the brain disease type 3 diabetes, as distinct from the insulin-dependent (type 1) and adult-onset (type 2) varieties of the condition.

13. According to Leaving Women Behind: Modern Families, Outdated Laws, the regulations that govern private pensions did not contemplate the influx of women into the labor market and therefore are not suited to the way modern women live. "Because women live longer than men, they are more likely to suffer the defects of our retirement systems," asserts co-author Kim Strassel.

something about me
Hi everyone,
This is Zhu Ye and I'm an undergraduate student in CSUEB and my Major is economics. This is my first time to take an online class and I feel it is very interesting. Everything is new to me, and I can learn from the online stuff. Also I can arrange my time easily.
Here is something else about me. I'm an international student from China and I can cook Chinese food. I always think that the best and delicious food should be cooked at home with a lot of time. So when I have time, I cooked at home and enjoy in it.
I have a lovely dog named 66. I prounced her name like "luo luo" and it's just the way I said six. She is an America Eskimo Dog and she was born in Febrary 29, 2008. Here is one of her picture I want to share with you.
she just awake, :-PShould I post the qictures on the album or here?
Anyway, thanks for your reading~
