Research thus far
I was not in class this morning because I was searching for more resources on my career field at the Library. I didn't get too much more. I have several websites with information, but would like to gather text books with information. I'm having trouble doing so. My career field is secondary education. Questions that I have are: do we focus on one main point, such as low wages for teachers? Do I describe courses required to get into this career field?

Essay 3 Criteria
Joe Mancuso
1. Clarity of Source: This should be the main focus becuase we will be using these sources to better define and explain our DC. The sources need to be from somewhat reputable places. Academic Search Premier would be a good source locator.
2. Organization: It's a given.
3. Creativity: Writing a boring paper is a terrible terrible thing. You might as well have not even written it. Having a little creativity will add jazz to the paper to get your audience's attention.

The area that I am interested in working in is Newscasting. My major is in Broadcasting and I am looking to use that to work behind the cameras and also eventually in front of them. The discourse community I am looking at is the actual language that the newscaster speaks. So therefore that can include both written script and also impromptu speaking. But I have found out thus far that there are some rules to this particular discourse community.
About the project 3
My project discourse is pre-law. This assignment has been rather difficult because i have not found many useful sources. I am not sure how to start the paper and tie it all together. I feel the annotated bibliography will be helpful although i have not completed that.
Research Project
My major is Interpersonal Communication with a minor in business. I have information about the use of communication in business. I don’t have a set career plan yet, I am not really sure what I want to do when I graduate. I am focusing my research on the role of communication in business. I have some more concrete ideas such as working within the Employment Agency (as a liaison between businesses and employees for the nursing, home-health care, and light industrial fields because that is what I think I will be doing when I graduate.) I have also been looking at information for Human Resources because it is a field that interests me and something I may like to do.
My career field is business law. So far I have been using web sites, articles, and text books from previous law classes. I feel like i understand the law discourse community fairly well, but I have a question regarding the assignment. It says that we are supposed to focus on one issue, debate, or problem within our field. Can you explain what this means and how we are suppose to incorporate that into our analysis? Thanks!

well i am basically getting my information from one website that has links to many links to other insurance sites all of which are useful. the one thing i learned that was new to me about an insurance claims adjuster is that i would have to opportunity to specialize, also something new to me is that claims adjuster many times are on call which is useful especially when a major disaster strikes, and if a community is struck pretty bad that i would get paged and then i would work with local authorities and other adjusters to get estimates throughout the community. my paper should be fine i have really started any drafts or anything but i should be alright.
Research Update Response
The research I have been conducting for project #3 has been for my major which is Interpersonal Communication and public speaking. I have used certain websites as well as the BGSU website to get a start on the research for this career field. So far the sources have been helpful and I have been making some progress on it.
My Career field is Dance Education with a focus in business. I currently own a dance studio, and my major IPC with a minor in entrepreneurship has afforded me direction in how to operate this business successfully. I already know a lot about the dance world from experience, but extra research for this project is helping me to focus on certain areas I have not considered since the growth of my business. I still need to gather more information to use for this paper. Right now I am slightly confused as to what needs to be included.
