I am planning on connecting all of my artificts and other parts in to my project by them all dealing with my topic of precision agriculture.  They will all be about how everything works and if in the end it saves the farmer money and supplies.  The connection is with all of my research and finding out if it is a good thing or a bad thing. So far everything seems to be working out ok for me and I am hoping to keep it that way and keep the project all under the same topic.  It also has been teaching me how to do different things like make the annotated biography.

Assignment #5

At the library visit last Thrusday I thought that it helped out a lot helping to understand how to find information that you want and find it quicker.  I have found it hard to find the exact information that I was wanting for the project I was doing or it would find a whole bunch that was related but not quite what I wanted but I now know how to narrow done everything to find exactly want I want.  That was the first time I have ever used the ebrary and I kind of liked how it worked because it's pretty straight forward and has a lot of good information.  I now have about all the research that I should need so everything is still going pretty smoothly.  I believe I am sitting much better now than I was before the library visit. It is very frusterating when you keep spending a bunch of time to try for find a good resource but sources that deal with something else keep popping up causing it to take much longer than it should have but that isn't quite as big of a problem now.  I also feel that it is easier to find a scholarly article using the library website because that was a problem for me to find when I first started off.  There is also so many more books, articles, and other resources than you wouldn't be able to find in most places and they are pretty simple to find so overall I believe that the library visit was a good thing.                 Brent Ginther

Assignment #4

Well my project is still going about the same.  I haven't really changed it much and it is pretty well on the same track as it was at the beginning of the year.  I like the topic that I first picked and want to keep it as on track as possible.  I enjoy learning about my topic of Precision Agricultural because I plan on using it after I get out of college so it will be very useful information to me.  So far I haven't had to much trouble finding the information I am going to need and there seem to be many sources out there that will work great for me.  I am hoping that it keeps going together the way it is so I don't fall behind trying to get things figured out.  My topic is a topic that is really starting to grow bigger at this moment in time so I am wanting to find the newest information I can find so that it is all recent information and technologies that have just started coming out instead of something that has been out for a while and is no longer going to be used by many people because Precision Agricultural electronics are just like any other electronics out there, they just keep getting upgraded so its hard to have the newest technology at all times.  As I said before my project is pretty much that same as it started as and I hope to keep it that way and keep learning more about what I like to do. Thanks for you time.

Assignment #3

I have not yet had to many troubles with my writing so far.  Some things take a lot of thought before I can decide exactly what I want to do but other than that it hasn't been bad.  I am hoping that I don't run into anything that might cause troubles.  I do worry that at some point I will not be able to find the information I am needing or not be able to get it in time.
