Conference Notes

When I went into my conference with Dr. Archibald I went in with the idea that I was going to talk about how criminals have out smarted the police over the years.  Now coming out of my conference I realized with the help of Dr. Archibald that I need to change my thesis because I am not getting my point across that I want.  So during the conference I changed my thesis to a two prong idea to look at how criminals are perceived and how they are prosecuted.  I am then going to use this and look at how the media influences this.  So now I have to go back and look for more information pertaining to the evidence that media plays on criminals.  After doing this change I think that my paper is going to be better than ever and I am excited to finish writing it

Sources for the 3resProj

After learning about the new way to search for sources on google it has made the process so much easier.  The sources that I found that I will be using for my paper are all under four different caategories and those are technology, media, Tv shows/movies, and past stories.  The first thing mthat I did was search for atleast two good sources for each category and one so so source for each category.  Then I started my apper and worked in my good sources that I knew I could do something with and I saved my so so sources for later to go back in and work with if I still needed them.  Some sources are more important than others because some of greater information and are more useful throughout the paper than others.

Conference notes

When I went in to my conference I knew that I wanted to do my research paper on criminals and law and what role technology plays on that.  Dr. Archibald had some great ideas to help out my topic and make it more concise.  He said that I should see how the criminal has progressed so far that they have out maneuvered the police officers over the years.  He said that I should also look at how TV shows, like CSI, have played a role in this as well.  I now plan to go back and reword my thesis to have it cater about what we talked about and the new ideas that we discussed.
