What did you do first? As soon as I met with Dr Archibald and had a clear idea of where I was going to go with this paper I started looking for information on the internet. I had done some searching prior to the meeting as well as came up with a mind map to help me with the ideas I had.
What did you do next? My first search was using webmd.com, I thought that would be a great place to get information, as it is related to health. There was quite a lot of both sides of the crash dieting world.
What you found? The majority of the articles that I found on either webmd.com or health.com were all against crash dieting. I can use that in my paper a little bit, but focusing on the side of yes it is a good thing if done right makes me have to dig deeper for what I am looking for to support my view on this.
Why these sources are important for your paper? They are important because it will support my over all view that it is okay to crash diet as long as you do it in the right manner and not go after something that will just throw your health down the drain.
Why some might not be important at all? If they do not pertain to my topic then I just move on. I have a running list on my desktop so that when ever I see something on TV about this or online I can go into that document and type in the info and save it for when I update my mind map.
You seem to have your foot in the door on this topic. Using trusted websites like webmd.com and health.com will be valuable to your research.
ReplyDeleteUsing prior knowledge of WebMD was a good choice because you already knew of it's reliability. It really seems like you have a handle on your sources and where your topic is going.
