Deadline #10 HW#1

This weeks reading in Everything's An Argument was about causal arguments and proprosals. The chapter on causal arguments basically said that they aren't very good. It showed on you can either show how the effects led to a cause, or the causes led to effects. Although it outlined how you can form a causal argument such as the claim, reason, warrant, and then show the evidence while linking to another chain, I tend to agree with the book that these types of arguments are hard to follow and most of the times rarely facilitate an actual conclusion. The proposals chapter was covered earlier in the year as we have already written our research proposals :). The websites this week were really only 2 not 4 as the University of Lincoln Nebraska site and the maricopa site were not available. The other 2 weren't direct topics rather indexes of info that you can use.

This week was both productive and unproductive. As far as sources go I checked out 8 books from the library here and 2 from the tempe library. One of the books I got here is called Drugs and Sports, and not only does it have an overview of steroids in baseball, it has a section in the book called further research, listing sites and tips on how to obtain the most up to date knowledge. I have a feeling there are myriads of this type of book as it is called "Library in a Book", very helpful if you need more sources and there is one for your subject. Unfortunately although I have all of my research done, and all the pages/stats I will be using in my paper, I will not be submitting a WP3 draft due to my work schedule, and since I knew we didn't have class tonight I filled in for another shift. As Devon mentioned before about why not make 1 papers 2 papers, I am doing that for my speech class, also highly recommened if you're going to take a speech class, turn your paper into your speech!
