Geography Research Assistant

Thursday, October 12, 2006

I went in and saw Dr. Shumway today -- we talked really briefly about exactly what he was looking for in the annotated bibliography. That was really helpful. I also realized that I need to be looking more at Population and Natural hazard articles so that we can evaluate something that hasn't been done. Today I spent some time reading Dennis S. Mileti's book Disasters by Design. I just skimmed through some of it and then went to the chapter where it discussed further research that needs to be done in the field. Then I went through the articles I have read and written up their summaries for and looked through their references. I highlighted alot of articles that I think will give me an idea on what has been done in the field concerning an assessment of Natural Hazards and Population geography. Finally I went and requested some of the articles through interlibrary load. While there I checked up on the previous articles I requested and found out that two of them are actually in Chinese. LAME. Little good that does me and they were good articles too. All in all not the most productive day but accomplished somethings. Now I am going to set some goals on what I need to accomplish before I write this paper

  • Annotated bibliographies are the worst! I don't know why they exist. Come to think of it, why does docummentation need to exist? I say we just do away with it all.
