Who is joining me in the 7th circle of hell?

This is my last class before Capstone and I am now regretting taking it amidst U.S. History II as that class is an insane amount of work.

So, who will be suffering through this with me?! Anyone??

***crossing fingers for a stellar group***

That was a good idea. We should have done it that way, because working on both was confusing and annoying. I have a pretty good group and I still want to stab myself in the knee with a rusty fork, so I feel bad for everyone who has a bad one!

Oh yea, there is no way anything would get done with all group members working on it. Finding the article was super hard. We ended up working backwards. My partner had done a lot of experimenting with key words and narrowed them down to three and found a great article. Then I ended up working backwards to get 50 articles. It was a pain. Almost to week 3!

Never Fear about week 3, because they would never do something as unrealistic as assign five chapters to read. Oh, nevermind, that's exactly the assignment. Let's see, if I add up the time needed to read 5 chapters, watch the videos, participate in OOH, and write up a portion of the research paper, that leaves me approximately 23 minutes a week to sleep, eat, and spend time with family. What a deal!

Could someone post the link to the website search engine? I can't figure out how to include just 3 databases which makes me wonder if I'm doing it wrong.

This is what I'm using:

Vera, if you start out under one data base like CINAHL, then you can add databases at the top. I think it says choose databases. That is how I did it.

I feel confident I'm going to fail. I haven't had time to read the stupid book. I've heard mixed reviews. I'm hoping to get in the 70s....

Hello all! I was scheduled to be in this class with you guys but I took everyones advice and dropped it so I could take it solo. So this is my next class then, capstone. Will one of you please send me the syllabus so I can have an idea as to what to expect or what would be required in this class that I have heard so much about?
