My accomplishments this week included getting a lot of new information on the organizations most used for cancer research and awareness, local hospitals near by that are the best for cancer treatment, and the ratios of how many people this year will be diagnosed with cancer. I also decided to switch my curation location from prezi to google template that is similar to the humanities website.
My most interesting piece found this week was the local hospital best for cancer treatment near us was Evanston Hospital. Evanston hospital houses both Kellogg Cancer Center and the American Cancer Society. Two organizations I work and volunteer for and they are rated at the top of the list for cancer treatment. I still need to check validity on what they are rated but I know that they are up there.
The biggest obstacle I need to overcome is the validity of the statistics I use. I want to make sure I'm getting correct data and not just throwing random numbers on a web page. Each website seems to have several number similar to each other, but to make my curation as accurate as possible I may have to average all these numbers to get the data that is the most valid and up to date. Once I find these averages I'll have more confident in my work.
Some things I need to work on this week:
1. I need to average the data I've collected for accurate statistics
2. Start working on a works cited page
3. Double check my work by looking on several sites for the same information
What's not working is how I'm taking notes. I don't just want to plug the information I collect straight into my curation but I have nothing else to than just write things in my journal. I feel like I have information all over the place and I've never felt so unorganized in my life. I just wish there was a better way to collect information and then plug it into the curation.
