ROBERT HARPER WEEK 4 BLOG

As i was doing my Week 4 Assignment 1 i came across two articles that managed to help me with my research question on how can the police help protect the citizens better. It was very helpful to me when ii typed in almost my whole entire research question instead of just putting in a few words that led me to a dead end. At first it was very difficult for me to find what i was looking for i had to look for a few minutes to an hour before i managed to type in a different search question and that opened up doors for me. The main thing that i'm really trying to figure out is that can the police help protect us better. What i mean by this is that can they stop abusing their power that they have, stop being corrupted, and get of of their high horse and protect us from ourselves and from our neighbors and such that want do do us harm.

ROBERT HARPER WEEK 3 POST

This week during my research project search i managed to get a much better understanding about my topic. I say this because at first i had no idea what my topic was and what i wanted to talk about but then it hit me. The main reason why i was able to get a better understanding about my topic is because of all the research i have been doing to get to my topic. I was able to get a better understanding by reading certain books and looking for certain books that will help me with my project. When i was able to find the right book from my old college days that is still useful to this day because it was just recently published so i knew that it can help me with my research project.

ROBERT HARPER WEEK 2 POST

In my homework assignment that made me do research about researching my homework and various things has really opened my eyes. I say this because in all of my years in going to school not once have i ever did research like this. Another reason why i say this is because usually, i don't go through one hundred or more web source's to find what i'm looking for i just picked one and hoped for the best that it will work, but now i see that wont cut it anymore and in order to better myself in this class i must research like how writer's or professionals do.

When i was doing my homework assignment i was kinda enjoying myself because i never thought that i can do this. What i mean by this is that i was never that good at researching and i sometimes never actually never did it the right way i was always cutting corners but now that i sat down and did the work i feel better about myself that i can do this as well as the other people who do this on a regular basis. Another reason why i liked this assignment was because it challenged me to actually find what i was looking for even if it took an hour to find the right source about my topic. The reason why i'm glad this challenged me was because i got away with this a few times but for me to find what i was looking for was very hard work and i thought that i will never be able to find what i was looking for but than after a few more clicks the right source that i was looking and hoped to come up came up right in the nick of time.

LBSU ROBERT HARPER FIRST BLOG OF THE SUMMER SEMESTER

Hello ladies and gentleman and welcome to my Robert t Harper's blog. i will like to thank you for coming here and reading my blog and talking about my blog. My major that i'm trying to go for is to be a police detective or be somewhere in the FBI. I have already attended Bradman University for both of the Spring semester's and i'm now in the first summer semester. My major right now is to get my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and after that possibly go for my master and PHD degree.

The reason why i want to be a police officer and/or a FBI agent or even anything to do with law enforcement is because i  cant stand bullies or people who like to pick on those who are weaker than themselves are think just because they have a little bit of money they can get away with anything. Another reason to this is because when i was a child i was always bullied or saw people get away with things that if other people would have done they will be in so much trouble.

What i really want to get out of this course is how to be a much better researcher than how i am already. What i mean by this is that when i have big projects that i have to do yes i do research about it first but just the small parts which is why i don't get the grade i don't deserve because instead of just getting a c on my researching skills i can get a b or an a.
