The Kent library was much more extensive and a learned some from just searching it. I feel that it should be a course of its own. I remember going to a library and looking up an index card and going to shelves and "hoping" that the book was put back into the "right place".
I realize now that the search methods are so extensive that it makes that system seem like child's play.
In researching for this paper I found most of my sources in the magazine National Geographic.
I believe however that I did not submit my paper on Mr. Sentell's requirements. After reviewing the assignment over again, I feel like I wrote a good paper but I don't feel I analysed the information. I consumed it and wrote it but didn't feel like I made comparisons in an analytic form.
Research and the tutorials make it possible and I am discovering new ways and methods every day. I am learning and have learned a lot of techniques from several of you. Reading your blogs give me ideas, tips and new information so I feel that they are research in itself.
So I can definitely put word of mouth, or in this case blogs, a vital source of research and information.
I feel I need a great deal more research on "research".

and just a note after reading this I spelled tried tryed.. Really Vicki?? and I learned not a learned..proofreading a second time imperative...
ReplyDeleteVicki,
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what year you are at SEMO but, UI100 covers some great topics for first year students specific towards SEMO. I have learned a great deal in this course for my studies at SEMO. It does take one week to cover Kent Library under Searchpath which is a required reading in ENG100. I myself have spelling goofs that must be addressed. I really get in trouble when I am in my "writing mode" and type words with similar sounds but different meanings. I do that a lot that I have to focus on. Luckily for me, my micro soft suite I had to buy last year with the newer version of Microsoft does assist me in this. Another course I took last year that may also help you is my computer literacy course. It is labeled something different at SEMO, but it was a great course to take to assist me in my scholastic career. Good luck.
Thank you Ronnie.
