Wiki Edit Reflection
As I stated in the last post, I have struggled with this assignment from the beginning. Some of the struggle was overcoming anxiety and over thinking about writing in such a public space. I am not yet a confident writer or researcher, so this assignment plays to all my weaknesses and insecurities.
Through the course of this assignment, I have learned that I am not great at researching. I need to learn how to refine searches to make it easier to find the information I am looking for. I was searching vague terms and getting back vague answers. I also need to set aside more time for research. I grossly underestimated the amount of time research would take for this. In the future, I will build more time into my schedule for this.
I have learned that there is a lot written about Phil Ochs and with a lack of good research knowledge I felt it was difficult to figure out exactly what I wanted to do for this project. I had a hard time finding my starting point. Once I found my starting point it was much easier to find the information I was seeking. Going forward I need to have a better grasp of what exactly it is I’m looking for before I begin.
