Assignment due 5/24 - an analysis

Well it's Sunday night, about a quarter to 9 PM EST as I type this and I'm FINALLY finished with this week's assignment. It's not that it was particularly difficult, at least IMO and especially with the aid of those on the Discussion Board (so thanks to all of you!), but it just took an incredibly long amount of time. Part of it is that I admittedly made the mistake of starting to look at it today. I was so bogged down with the readings and assignments for our other course (LIS 2000) that I didn't really have much of a choice in the matter, though. I don't wanna sound like I'm abdicating myself from blame here, though.

Nevertheless, the most tedious part about it involved having to individually import Google Scholar references to RefWorks (boy do I wish there was an application that lets you import multiple references/citations like with Scopus). There was also a brief scare a couple of hours ago when I couldn't even get onto any of the discussion boards. Apparently Courseweb thought that I wasn't registered for any courses! I knew this was a minor technical glitch, but it was a bit jarring to look at and frankly, after all the work I've been putting in so far, a bit offensive. :-)

Fortunately, I'm back online now, my classes are now showing up (goes to show what happens when one takes a break for dinner).

I'm also a bit confused as to how share our Google Reader RSS feeds. I made them public and sent a "friend request" to Dr. Tomer. In any case I guess the important thing is that he sees them.

I also didn't post last week's assignment on the Discussion Board until yesterday. Admittedly, I was confused that I didn't see a separate thread for it and was unaware that it was all under the thread marked "Questions about Citations and References" (sorry if I'm getting the name wrong).

Anyway, all appears to be well now. I just hope I did OK on this assignment.
