@Kobe_Smith2022 In-text citations are always my kryptonite, I never quite get the balance of too much vs too little. I always play on the safe side and cite everything so I avoid plagiarism at all costs.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

@Kobe_Smith2022 I agree! Personally, I have always valued professor feedback much more than peer review solely on the fact that Professors know what they are looking for specifically. Professor Stover's feedback will be invaluable when it comes to crafting the perfect grant proposal.

@Kobe_Smith2022 I'm in the same boat @Kobe_Smith2022, finding the motivation to finish out the semester continues to grow more difficult each passing day. Having a professor that allows you to work on the already assigned work rather than adding to the pile is a much-needed refresher.

Writing my first draft for my Grant Proposal has been an interesting experience. Writing in a concise and precise manner continues to be a challenge while still maintaining an academic/professional tone. Today's workday was much needed and much appreciated.

soley on "their lack of creative expression" in their resume. Then proceed to accept another with less qualified but with a more robust resume.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

Understanding how to build and create an outstanding resume is an extremely important skill that I cannot stress enough. As someone who works in recruiting, having a resume that stands out often gets you the job. For example, I had one client decline a well-qualified candidate

@Mar_Payne_ That is such a great idea! Recreating a timeline of a past historical prison riot and examining reformation policies is very beneficial for our society today. Prison reformation is a serious problem that plagues our society today and drawing attention to this issue is much needed

Again, we head into peer review, and this time I am actually looking forward to it. My annotated bibliography is a little rough around the edges but, I am rest assured my peers will make valuable critiques that will help polish my final work.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

For my grant proposal I have decided to create an interactive map of the Odyssey. This map will include a timeline of Odysseus travels and the characters he encounters along the way. Users will be able to hover of each character to get a brief history of that character.

@Mar_Payne_ I have never used JSTOR before, but I do agree the tutorial was helpful. I am quite familiar with Boolean because I use it on a daily basis for my job. I like to think of it as PEMDAS if that's any help, it will always complete the parenthesis first and work outward.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

These database tools were very helpful. My experience only extends as far as ProQuest, so the two other tutorials were very insightful and informative, and well constructed.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

Gorsevski's article “What Goes Inside a Typical Grant Proposal” was extremely insightful and helpful when it comes to writing my own grant. I have yet to write my own grant but now I am feeling more confident than I did previously.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

@kaylindins I agree, understanding copyright law is extremely important not only for Digital Humanities projects, but for most circumstances. Understanding the legal and procedural process can save you from legal trouble.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

@DavisLong19 Job well done on the TEI blog! It seems like you and I had a very similar experience with the Project. Initially hesitant, but quickly learned the ins and outs. I also struggled with em-dashes, but I'm glad to see you mastered them!

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

Guiliano's Lecture Podcast provided helpful insight into how to turn a "broad question" into a Digital Humanities question. First, you use the 5w's (who, what, etc.) to ask the question. Then using modifier statements to describe or explore you explain the project's purpose.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

Again, heading into peer reviews and not looking forward to it. I value the constructive criticism my peers provide, and should not be stressing about my rough draft. However, I still feel as if my ROUGH draft should be perfect.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

Being completely new to coding, Oxygen has been fairly straightforward and easy to understand. For me, there was NOT much of a learning curve, and was a great first introduction into the world of coding!

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

@AdaChicas3 It was quite interesting to see the history of Mark-Up has changed. Originally marking-up text for easier readability was taboo and eventually become mainstream and widely excepted after centuries. This reading was a good Segway into our TEI project and the importance of it.

[Jake Verry @JakeVerry]

@AdaChicas3 I really enjoyed your review, it was quite thorough offering key insight into the WITCHFINDER DH project. Your suggestions would help polish the project up and are made in such a tone as to be constructive rather than criticizing. Might want to fix "## MOBILE SITE".

"Dracula's Guest" was an interesting twist on the stereotypical "Dracula" stories. The first person narrative and the added suspense between language barriers made the story all the more intriguing. The fact that Dracula ensured his guest's safety was a surprise to me.
