Hey guys, I’m bored doing work so I’ll procrastinate a little and do my “Carl Post” as everyone has called it….
What I’ve learned This Semester:
1. When picking your topic pick something that you’ve thought about before, maybe something you’ve gone over briefly in another class, or something that you’ve read and found interesting. If your topic [...]

Your Classmates Are Your Biggest Supporters
Published by November 29th, 2007 in Uncategorized. 1 CommentHello Everybody!
First off, thanks to everybody who listened to my presentation on Wednesday. Public speaking is not my biggest strength, so thank you to all for not judging me.
Second, here is my “Carl Post” for what I’ve learned in this class this semester:
Research, Research, Research! I was lazy when it came to [...]
Now that I’ve finished my Spanish presentation, I’m going to sit here and think about what causes my variables to be bad. I figure if I do nothing but think I might get somewhere. I might even draw some graphs on the board, I figure if Nash did it on hard topics, maybe I can [...]
Spending a Little QT with Joe and Shannon in Monroe 106
Published by November 29th, 2007 in Uncategorized. 1 CommentSo I’ve just finished my powerpoint for my presentation Monday. In going through it, I found holes in my research, and trying to explain it to myself in a way that I could explain it to others has helped my understand my topic more fully. I apologize in advance for the complexity of my topic. [...]
When professors used to say that you can usually see a difference between the approach freshman take on a class, to that the upperclassman take on a class, I could see where they were coming from, however, it was not until this class that I fully understood what they meant. As a freshman, I would [...]
My Power Point is Dull but I’m Exciting
Published by November 28th, 2007 in Research Journal. 0 CommentsToday I went to the speaking center…a whole three hours after I presented in class today. Kind of ridiculous but the great thing was it wasn’t SO helpful that I didn’t get to go before my presentation. That sounds like a critique of the speaking center, but it’s not. I think they’d be really helpful [...]
Hi everybody,
Thanks for not killing me during my presentation. It is a huge load off now that it is done; however, now I have to start working on the final paper. Deciding whether I should just make corrections to my current paper or start from scratch. Each side has its pluses and minuses. I am [...]
Last week after talking to Professor Greenlaw I was on top of the world. I understood what I was going to write about. I had new and fresh ideas. I was a happy man. Now after 4 hours of studying I don’t quite understand the theory. When we talked, we talked about second degree price [...]
So my newest issue is the critical review section of my paper. I know that this might not seem like a big issue, but when you don’t have any data to back up your theory, you want everything to be perfect. Most of the research that I had done up until about a week ago [...]
Throughout the process of my research, I learned a great deal. While I could likely write another paper solely on the lessons of my first research project, I will focus on the data collection and methodological aspects of my research. The collection of food prices consumed a huge percentage of my overall project time. I [...]
