ENC1102 EPORTFOLIO

To begin the research process, we had to do some initial reading about the potential subject we wanted to study. I used this Google Doc to compile all the sources I thought I could get significant information out of to contribute to my argument.
Included at the bottom of the page was also a reflection about my source-gathering process. I included where I struggled, where I had doubts, and what I felt proud of. The reflection part was an assignment that was due at the beginning of our search process, and looking back on it, I am able to see where I grew and where I did not.
During this step, and throughout most of the project, my professor commented on how I lacked sources about rhetoric, like genre, and how it was important that I needed to include more. Instead, I focused on gathering evidence about speech pathology, when I should've been researching the bigger picture.
This research question is what I used all semester to research my topic. I never changed it, and it helped me refine my search for subtopic-specific documents
This was my initial inquiry about my topic and where I wanted my research to go. I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep genre as my rhetorical study, but researching these questions helped me figure out I wanted to.
