Week 3

edit

I did not see your critique of a Wikipedia article that was your assignment for Week 3. This is the first assignment to be worth a real amount of points. If you did in fact complete the assignment please let me know where I can see your work. If you do not know how to complete the assignment you need to seek help. Talk to a classmate, contact an online ambassador, or contact me during office hours. There is still time to recover, but you should avoid missing more assignments. Also I noticed that the articles you were considering working on weren't really psychology articles so... you probably should pick some other ones. --MTHarden (talk) 02:15, 19 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Self Confidence

edit

Hey talltay21, I'm User:SCayce1230. From my understanding, you want to research the benefits of Self-Confidence and how they can help someone succeed in life, correct? That's cool. For my section of Self-Confidence, I'm going to describe the factors (enviornmental/biological) that cause someone to be more self-confident or less self-confident. I also made a sandbox for our group: User:SCayce1230/sandbox where you can edit your research and citations. Let me know if you have any questions :) SCayce1230 (talk) 15:29, 3 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Self Confidence 2

edit

Talltay21, This week we are supposed to come up with 3-5 sources for an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is basically a cited source with a summary of what that source is about. So once you find your source, just cite it and write a like 4-5 sentence summary of what it is about. I'm pretty sure he wants 3-5 sources per person. You can put the annotated bibliography in your section of User:SCayce1230/sandbox that I created. And yeah its due on 11/11/11.

And for coordinating our article, that's only really going to work if the other two people reply to us. If they never reply then we'll just work it out. If you want I can give you my number in class tomorrow so it will be easier to communicate. SCayce1230 (talk) 02:15, 9 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
