Approaching the essay

Friday, May 4, 2007

Well the assignment that will be the hardest is now upon me, yes you guessed it - an essay!

After wondering how I should start to approach the question

"How can our 'Net skill and knowledge be enhanced by a conceptual understanding
of the Internet?" (Allen, n.d.)

I decided to start by asking myself some questions;

What is meant by 'conceptual understanding?'

What skills and knowledge is enhanced?

Why is our knowledge and skills enhanced by a conceptual understanding?

To what extent are they enhanced?


Time to get studying!

- Mary

    Hi Elle,

    Feel free to start brain storming with them! (This assignment is tough to get started on, hey?) :)

    I got my ideas from reading this link http://www.griffith.edu.au/ins/training/resources/academic_writing/content_aw_unpacking.html
