I found the tips that were giving in this article very helpful when I was looking better sources.

Definitely something everyone should look at. Finding sources is the key part to a exploratory essay as they are the puzzles pieces necessary to put together your paper.

I personally have found this to be very helpful for citations as we do need works cited page for the exploratory essay.

Another useful site to help work through multiple mediums of publication. Very helpful.

Its an article which questions whether most research papers are being written on false distinction. His main argument is with modern research engines, students are no longer learning the intended message and it only takes a few minutes to put together papers that look like hours in the library. Therefore they become useless for learning.

I disagree with the author, the availability of information through the internet is fast compared to a library which can be bad but it is also vast. There is an abundance of perspectives that the internet gives you access to where there is a limit in the physical sense. It all depends on who is doing the research, not how easy information is accessed.

Pretty helpful article on exploratory essays!

This is a very good source that is reliable!

This blog post gives a lot of good advice with how to start and go through a research paper.

These looked helpful for our upcoming research project

My view on research is that planning is the most tedious part and I was happy to see that the steps had similar views

A pretty controversial issue right now. I thought it was neat how it talks about audiences and how changing the audience effected the situation.

Everything is controversial but the only thing that matters is the person, group, etc. in question. She has the right to choose and if she was in that much pain daily, she made the right choice with the medicinal aid.

This is one of the subcultures on the list we received and I thought it was interesting how different people live and what is normal to others is completely bizarre to most.

Its interesting also to analyze this video in the way that it is Arielle Castillo's firsthand, primary research on this subculture.

These are some great tips for when researching and using google as a search engine. Some would be very helpful that I wish I had known sooner.

it was an interesting article about where subcultures are at today and how they have they have stayed the same/changed over time

I find that the effectiveness of this article varies upon the topic group. The writer put very little emotion or biased into some of the groups and filled out with emotion for the others

This article is trying to persuade the reader that Scott Walker is anti-women.This article is taking advantage of the kairos coming from the election that is approaching.

It also seems to have really good logos with the organization of the article.

uses a lot of logos, personally i don't really agree with it but thats my opinion

This an example of ineffective visual rhetoric. I remember when these ads came out there was a lot of backlash on target and did the opposite of the purpose of trying to persuade people to buy their swimsuits.

It's creepy to me how much they feel they need to photoshop these girls. I agree its definitely ineffective visual rhetoric.

Since we are getting into research of subcultures, I thought this list was pretty interesting!

I think the last tip is very helpful. Using a source as a "gateway" to more credible sources could be very helpful.

This article gives you good advise on how to choose the best topic for your research paper. I liked how it gave you a list of things that a good research topic should have.

This rhetor is using pathos and ethos to show her disapproval of standardized tests.

She is also creating kairos in this article because of how she says that she want to quit now. She states that it is now that these standardized tests have to be removed because otherwise you might lose good teachers.

This woman who was born with a condition that gives her an advantage over "normal" women (so she is kind of a "freak" in that sense) but her case is resulting in lots of rhetoric that tests our ideas of the boundaries/definitions of gender and sex.

Looking through this article actually surprised me. It is her natural self, it's not like she took testosterone meds to get to that state. Even if it is an advantage, there are plenty of aspects that people can have an advantage in but just because she has hyperandrogenism doesn't mean she should be banned from competing. Athletes take performance enhancing drugs, whereas this is a natural event.
