March Extra Blog Post

    It is the end of March, and we have just completed our Expert Source Analysis, in which we must find data based around our answers to our EQ and create a statistic based around that, while making sure that they are a credible source to be using in the first place. It is more difficult than it may sound to find data, in the form of graphs or charts or any other form, over a period of years to compare differences. Some people tend to have a lot harder time with this, especially when your topic and answers have to do with something there may not be much data for. However, this exercise in finding credible sources and data is very helpful for later on in our projects and will help us with sounding like we know what we are talking about, even if we might not know ourselves, and helps prepare ourselves for some more collegiate work in using only sources that are credible for papers, projects, etc. So overall, ESA is helpful, though most people would tend to argue it is quite annoying to do, including myself at times.
