We are nearing the end of this semester and the book we’ve been working throughout the semester is in its final editing stages. This week, Shaun has given us a useful tip for adding our bibliographies using Microsoft Word. There is a section in References where you can add citations and manage different options such as citation style, author, source type etc. To be honest, I haven’t paid too much attention to the references section in word as I didn’t need it until now for our writing. So it was helpful to see how it worked and I know it will be a useful tool for future assignments.
In addition, this week I worked on fixing my writing following suggestions left in the comments in our shared Google Doc. I made sure to also add links to the authors I referenced throughout my writing to make it more accessible since our work will be made available as an e-book. I already had quite a few supporting graphs from the papers I have read. Instead I focused on making a quick illustration to represent my topic at the start of the chapter shown below.
I also made a quick self-portrait illustration for my author biography since I didn’t feel comfortable sharing and image of myself. It may have taken a bit of extra work than just taking a picture but it was relaxing to just doodle something and served as nice little break from other assignments.
