Research With Dr.McCormick

Did i think i would become extremely knowledgeable about food in a English class?Absolutely not,being in this course has been a real eye opener when it comes to my health and making right choices about my food consumption.I personally had no idea about food production and various other issues that involve the food industry.Being in this course taught me great methods to research certain topics i had difficulty researching.In addition,i learned a great way to find resources and helpful information through the schools website that made the process much easier and convenient.Also i learned how to cite my sources and about annotated bibliography,topics that were unknown to me.The most exciting part about researching an unknown topic is learning about all the useful information that in the long run can be very helpful for future tasks.This course has been the most helpful and informative class to date and im very thankful about the education i received.
