Re: Progress Check #1

During these two first weeks, basically, I focused more my efforts in collect all theinformation that I need. The first week I decided that my topic to research is going to be ''obesity” and I started to research and read about it. Up to know I have all the information collected, read and Ialready started to write the introduction of my research. Below I specify my progress so far.

Research: I decided to research about obesity, due to this topic is wide I found too much helpfulinformation that will help me to make a good job. I collected 8 articles that offer very good information; I also found some news and several web pages with data, statistics and new treatments about obesity.Also, my mother gave a book title “Obesidad y Cirugía, cómo dejar de ser obeso (2000)” by the author Baltasar Torrejón.

Reading: Basically I have read all the collected data except for the book.Notetaking: Most of the information I will include in my final paper are from the web so I did a Word file with all this information. I have been highlighting in my word file my key points. Inthe book I started to read, I am taking notes writing directly in the book.

Content Organization: Because I liked the outline that you recommended us, I used the one but with some modifications. Upto now I already figured out what my main sections will be and how they will be sequenced. I attach my rough outline at the bottom of this memo.

Time Organization: The following chart shows theprocess of tasks and their total time until they are accomplished is shown below in Figure 1, in a Gantt chart.
