Post 8: CloudTweaks Credibility

Is CloudTweaks a credible blog? Lets find out! Cloud Tweaks has all kinds of materials on it about cloud computing made or redistributed by professionals of that industry. On it's Contributors page it states that "CloudTweaks provides thought leaders and influences around the world with an opportunity to contribute articles on our site. Our focus remains firm on raising and spreading awareness of the many benefits that cloud computing has to offer" This means that I am getting information from not only certified Americans in the industry but I'd be getting info from people certified in the industry from all around the world. This means different software companies, different views, and ideas for cloud computing. "Okay that's great but are your sources reliable and credible?" Yes, yes they are, I recently read one of the articles on the site about online migration tool and it was written by a woman named Katie Cullen Montgomerie who works for Fookes Software which is in Europe. The company she works for won The Software Innovation Solution of the Year award which means that they had to beat out "over 400 entries submitted by independent software vendors, solution providers and system integrators in more than 31 countries. So I think they are pretty reliable.

Post 2: L. Lennie Irvin's 7 Myths of Academic Writing: Is It The Truth?

Are these myths bias or are they true? In Irvin's essay, "What Is “Academic” Writing?" he outlined and debunked 7 myths that most high school and college students were made to believe as they evolved as writers. The Myths Are: Myth #1: The “Paint by Numbers” myth  Myth #2: Writers only start writing when they have everything figured out  Myth #3: Perfect first drafts  Myth #4: Some got it; I don’t—the genius fallacy Myth #5: Good grammar is good writing Myth #6: The Five Paragraph Essay Myth #7: Never use “I”  Most of these myth's I have personally never heard of but I just can't agree with myth #1. The myth is described as "writers believe they must perform certain steps in a particular order to write “correctly.” Rather than being a lock-step linear process,-". Maybe it's just me being stubborn but I've always been taught to follow an evidence triangle or some type of layout when I wrote essays and it made it a little more easier an...

Post 11: Understanding Math

Imagine yourself sitting down in your math class getting ready for this big test. You read all of your formulas and looked over the problems that you did in class. You get your test and then BOOM you don't remember anything. How can you prevent this? You have to actually practice. According to Paul Dawkins, a math professor at Lamar University, " You cannot learn mathematics by just going to class and watching the instructor lecture and work problems.  In order to learn mathematics you must be actively involved in the learning process.  You’ve got to attend class and pay attention while in class.  You’ve got to take a good set of notes.  You’ve got to work homework problems, even if the instructor doesn’t assign any.  You’ve got to study on a regular schedule, not just the night before exams.  In other words you need to be involved in the learning process."(Dawkins) This is a true statement since I've had the opportunity to test it myself on my last math ...

Post 12: Confusion with MLA Style

MLA Style is one of the most commonly used writing and citing method among scholars. It's easy enough to use when it comes to formatting the paper but I always have trouble with using the MLA citation. Since it is changed every few years I often get the versions of the citations mixed up and I write it all out of order. For example when I was doing the MLA citations for my essay instead of putting the authors/publishers first I put them at the end instead and so now it's wrong.
