Student inquiry comparison post

For my two student inquiry’s, I read student 5 and student 6. Student 5’s inquiry was about the tedious task of being a college student and eating healthy. I thought this was an interesting and well written essay. I really enjoyed reading it because I am a college student and I am someone who definitely wants to stay as healthy as possible. I also thought that it offered some good tips and advice to eat healthier while still saving money. The second essay that I read was about the physical and mental limitations of pushing your body to its breaking point. Again this is another essay that I can relate to as I am a big athlete and someone who exercises very often. When looking at these inquiry papers back to back, there are a couple of techniques that the authors used that I will be aiming to emulate in my own paper. In both essays, the authors focused primarily on field research that they did to answer the question of their paper. By using this technique, the authors establish their strong credibility and connection with the reader. Another technique that was used in these essays was to cite quotes from experts in the field that the inquiry was about. For example, student 5 would use quotes from nutritionists while student 6 would use quotes from athletic trainers. Reading these essays has shown me some good tips and techniques that I can use myself in my inquiry paper.
