Hello all! I'm Aliecia Brissett and I'm a Professional Writing major. I enjoy writing about my personal experiences, on my personal blog, and try encourage others to conquer whatever difficulties they may have, (I know it may seem that I'm an emotional wreck but trust me I'm not; I think its just the Pisces in me). I also enjoy listening to old school RnB (circa early 90's), reading the dictionary (don't judge me), shopping, and reading spiritual/inspirational, and funny books.
I have just recently learned about research tools such as Zotero and RefWorks from one of my classes last semester. I have yet to try them out, but I know that when I eventually do, they will be very helpful.
When I have to do research for assignments I usually stick to the same method that I've been using since first year: Google and university library portals. I have to admit, I have not been to a library since elementary school to look for research materials, (which is pretty bad seeing that I would like to be a journalist), but I'm just too lazy to get up and go to the library when a lot of the information is at my finger tips. I hope this course will help me, and motivate me, to find other ways of researching for academic materials; and slowly get me out of my computer chair and into a library.
I'm really looking forward to the final assignment of making a podcast. I have no experience what so ever when it comes to making one, so I'm excited, and kind of scared. A podcast that I enjoy listening to is The Read. It's basically these two friends rambling on about pop culture and poking fun at the trends that are happening today; I love it. So without question, the topics that I am drawn to for this assignment are: On the Media, Lexicon Valley and Under the Influence. My challenge, aside from learning how to make a podcast, is deciding on a topic.
