Hello y’all, During class, someone brought up how to handle video essay content, so that got me thinking, I should put this stuff into practice, especially the stuff from this week. So lets first look at what we learned this week. Chapters 6-9 of Verified Chapter 6 Chapter six of Verified concerns itself with scholarly…

This week in class we continued our discussion of Verifed, and we also talked about the progress we’re making on our projects. We touched base briefly with our groups for our final project as well.
