After the peer reviews I got some very good feed back. A few of the problems that I had are simple and easy to fix. Luckily, my paper was sparred of any rude or inappropriate comments. The things I now need to work on include, more clearly defining my thesis, and my citations were off. Also my transitions were pretty bad.

Changes

Scratch that previous blog, and part of my presentation. My paper doesn't focus on one group, but it describes them all in brief detail. After that I bring in the counter argument. Next I plan on bringing in my argument and adding in real life situations to prove my point. It should work

Finishing it up

The paper is going pretty well, I have found another two books to use. One titled US Army Special Warfare has proven to be very helpful. It shows an interesting view into the Army Rangers, to go with this is a website I found that has a real life story about an Army Ranger Platoon leader in Iraq. It will be very helpful. Time to finish this paper up for Tuesday.

Presentation

Today was a day filled with library work. After my conference I found new direction in this paper. Today I followed my new direction and actually found some new books that may help my project. My presentation (due Thursday)will be more about my researching and finding information than the topic itself. Now I will cover information on my topic, but not nearly as much as in my final paper.

Conference

My conference was yesterday, and it was probably the single most helpful thing for this paper. I am now changing my approach to this paper, below are a few things I am changing.
-Less equipment
-More historical references
-Focusing only on Army Rangers
-Facts about what the Rangers have prevented
-Explain all the other branches of the Special Forces.

The conference was incredible helpful. Time for the library

Tuesday

Yesterday I went to the library for research purposes. The rough draft is due Thursday, but I figure it would be best to have most of my research done even if I don't use it all in my rough draft.
During my research I found a lot of information about previous operations. I'm still have a little trouble find information about tactics. Today while I'm there I am going to narrow my search into something about squad tactics as compared to my previous searches that focused on the special forces. Hopefully this information will be usable and helpful to my paper.

Wish me luck

Monday

Today is Monday, I hate Mondays. This Monday will be especially hard because our research paper is due Thursday. This means that I have 3 days to pull all my information into one and organize it into a paper. I'm heading to the library today to do my research. I will post the follow up to this post from there.
