Hey everyone,

how is it going with your paper?

I find the way of note-taking that Mr. Brewster explained to us (yes the one with the inches on the top, bottom and left!) very useful! I have applied it to a couple of other seminar papers as well. every time i read an article or parts of a book, I make one of these style sheets and so i don't get confused where i got which information from.

The only real problem I have is that I get lost in the literature... there is so much information and I have a really hard time to stay focused on what is really important to my paper. Does anyone have the same problem?

Enjoy the last days of your easter break!

Hi Stefanie,

I've the same problem: I found so much literature that I've no idea what to write first. From my point of view I could write a seminar paper with 30 pages if necessary! I never had this problem before. On the contrary, the problem was to find enough sources. That's new.

However, I'm so glad that our collegues read trough our work tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to get some new ideas and comments on my paper. Maybe I can also read your paper. I'm sure it's great

See you,

Sandra
