Week 4

I enjoyed the reading for this week.  I especially like the article Theories of Knowledge.  The article was very informative and made complete sense.  I also enjoyed the presentation by Penn State about the information cycle.  I never really gave the information cycle much thought until now.  Looking up the origins of the word "canuck" was a little stressful.  I found way to much information and had a hard time sorting through it and finding the accurate origin.  I still unsure but picked the most likely one.  It might have helped if I had ever heard the word before.  I really enjoyed the assignment "how I know."  This assignment really got me thinking about what I truly know.  You never realize how little to truly know from first had experience compared to what you think you know.  It was fun to come up with things I was certain about.  The research plan and selecting information sources assignments were helpful because it made me start really planning for my project and thinking about where I will get the information from.
