I have decided not to do the research for this blog prompt because I feel that the requirements are repeated from weeks 5 and 6 prompts. Of course there are many sources for blogs and scholarly articles and such, but my answers to the requirements will be essentially the same. The summaries would be different, but the audience would be one of the two mentioned in my previous blogs (everyone or accountants), and workplace relevance will continue to be the same as I am studying to be an accountant. Also, when I compare a scholarly article or the like to a blog, the comparison will mostly be the same with the exception of the usefulness of each.
The only different information that would be presented by this prompt would be how each discuss and present the same topic; which when ever researching any topic I think most people analyze each source they read (I know I do). I look at the wording of the information and the importance of it relevant to my subject of research. I look at the source it is coming from and think about the credibility of the source. Isn't that how you decide what information to use or repeat?
So, I mean no disrespect by saying what I have above (cross my heart), but that is how I feel. I realize that I could have just done the blog prompt instead of stating my opinion, but my opinion requires no research and is therefor faster. Please feel free to leave a comment if you disagree; I would like other view points to try to look at this another way. Or leave a comment if you agree; I would like to know if I am the only one who feel this way about this specific prompt. :O)
I can't disagree with the fact that teachers ask us to do the same things over and over again. In fact,I feel this way about most of the classes I take. Then, I think about everytime I go to work and how I am always doing the same thing repetitivly. I guess I just try to look at it as this is what they are requiring for me to pass and move on, then this is what I will do. I expect that I will for the rest of my life at any job I do have to do SOME things over and over, so I just take this as a good learning opportunity for what is to come. I can agree and disagree with this post.
