1.       The article I picked name is “Cut calories with the 250/250 plan” http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/story/21349420/cut-calories-with-the-250250-plan.

2. In the article says that if you cut out 250 calories out of your daily diet and work out and burn 250 calories there should be higher chances of weight loss.  This is an example of an argument. The argument that they use is from the American Heart Association as their evidence. Yes there was a little use of emotional aspect in this the author mentions that only 1 percent of Americans are considered to be cardiovascular healthy.

During my presearch process I came to the conclusion that my first topic (cosmetic surgery fraud) did not have a lot of information on it. I reworded my keywords and I learned that there was more information on the dangers of plastic surgery in general oppose cosmetic surgery fraud. When I first searched for a book to fit my new topic I did not get any feedback, but after rewording my topic so that it was not as specific I was able to find a book in print. The book that I was able to find is Reshaping the female body: the dilemma of cosmetic surgery call number: RD119 D385 1195.

The process that we use in class is very different to what I am accustoming to doing during research. I am the type of person that puts the whole entire question into the search engine. I never knew about the Boolean operators until this class and I have learned that they are a huge help. I am not really confused about anything that we are learning as of now. I also feel though  we are on a good track on learning information. 

special collections

I loved the special collections presentation. I fell that it is really cool that Carrollton still has remains from several decades ago. Before this presentation or this class I was completely in the dark about special collections. I always know there was something down stairs in the library but I wasn't exactly sure what it was. I don’t really think that I will be able to utilize this for any of my classes. Unfortunately I no longer take history classes because I have already taken my required amount and my research topic is more of a current issue.
