For this assignment the link “44 Resume Writing Tips” was most helpful. I always wondered if my resume was good enough when sending it to a employer. This link helped me make sure everything that needed to be there was there. It helped me make sure my resume was thorough and well organized. It even highlighted the worse thing I’ve been doing this whole time, sending out the same resume to every employer. This assignment in general helped me. For one, I have never included an objective in my resumes before. At first, I thought it was weird because it felt like I was writing an essay or something. But once I thought of a good one I noticed how great of a start it is.

Academic citation is huge in college classes when writing a paper. In high school I was taught the many styles and how to accurately use them. One thing I learned when reading the citing source supplement was the style turabian. I had never heard of this citation style. Even though it’s quite like Chicago style it was interesting to learn about it. The second thing I learned was that you have to cite when using graphs and diagrams. That was interesting to me because I have never cited when using those and was never taught that you had to. However, it does make sense to why you have to. The third thing I learned was that you shouldn’t cite Wikipedia. The GSU library tutorial on citation styles suggested that it is a good place to start when looking for information but you should always find more reliable sources.

When it comes to Netiquette one thing that I learned was that no answer is the best answer. When there are heated conversations, rude comments, or flame wars happening you should not engage. Your comments just add fuel to the discussion. If you do not respond, then the person will most likely stop.
