Ms. McDonald Contact 10/13

Contact with Ms. McDonald

Date of contact: October 13, 2017
Contact: Ms. McDonald
Reference: Annotated Bibliography
Discussion: I asked Ms. McDonald what sources should be about, besides fiddler crabs, their biology, and ecology and coastal wetlands. I also asked if sources about how to write a research paper would count towards the forty sources I need.
Conclusion: Ms. McDonald advised me that primary sources were to be the only sources I use and that sources telling me how to write a research paper, although very helpful for my project, do not count as part of my sources. She did, however, tell me that sources about statistics and statistical analysis do count. Lastly, she provided an example on how to easily find primary sources on the internet about the Uca minax species.

What I've Done I presented my formal progress update for the third marking period. I also began my discussion yesterday and emailed both my discussion and results portion of my scientific research paper to my mentor, Mrs. Zrada, to be revised. Plans for Today I plan to use Mrs. Zrada's corrections to tweak my results and discussion sections to be more accurate and professional-sounding. After I make the necessary corrections, I will hand in my abstract, results, and discussion, as they are all due today, 10 April. Plans for the Future I will begin working on my marking period four work once I receive the syllabus for the quarter.
