Yay! I just got my paper that's due tonight finished. I have no idea why but it took me FOREVER to finish this thing. I really struggled with it. There wasn't a whole lot of information about it out there; I guess that was the problem. I really think I got the short end of the stick considering I am doing ROCKETinfo and others are doing more well-known search tools like Yahoo! Answers, Digg, Internet Public Library, Flickr, About.com, Kartoo, and Librarian's Internet Index. Only a few of my classmates are doing search tools that I have never heard of - me being one of them, of course. And my search tool is really designed for the corporate world. To read their Web site, you wouldn't even know they had a free search engine out there; it's all about their corporate solutions. Anyway, I'm not sure I did that well on the paper, in terms of providing the kind of information that my professor wants, but I do think it is well-written!
Speaking of which, my last paper due for this class - a group assignment with me and one other person - was returned with a grade today. I started to read the comments she made on it and couldn't understand what had happened! It was like a different paper had been submitted. My partner was in charge of submitting it and apparently decided to make some changes to my wording before he did so. He changed all these places I used "I" to "we". And then my professor changed them all back to "I". I have no idea what he was thinking. The worst part is that he wasn't even consistent about it. He kept some sections "I" and changed others to "we". There were two other occasions when he changed my wording and she changed it to something else - turns it she changed it to exactly what I had written before he got his hands on it. Wish he would have just left it alone; I'm sure we would have at least picked up another point or two because most of her comments resulted from these changes he made!
