Library orientation

Today's library orientation was very significant. LexisNexis was the one I will definitely use for writing a research paper because the newspaper is appropriate  source for it. However, even though I thought Grammarly is very useful to collect gramatical mistakes, it costs money to use it!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really dissapointed about it and did not even know that because librarians did nit tell us!!! I wish I could use it without paying money. That would be awesome.

The second class of R&P

Today, using the survey which was homework from the last class, we discussed what is important to use a survey as the evidence of an essay. I did not decide what my topic would be yet but learned that I have to carefully think who I should ask to answer my survey, and how many people will be enough to show it as evidence if I need to use it. I also got to know that Awesome screen shot that is really an awesome technique because we can take screenshot just by clicking one button and using mouse to select wherever the part we want. I have known how to screen shot since Ayako who was the last ATS teacher taught us how to so it, however, that was not that easy. I am so impressed so that I am looking forward to learning new stuff more in this class.

The first R&P class

 It was the first time for me to have R&P in this semester. I have learned how to use Mac effectively through the class. Since I have used only Windows, I did not even know that there are differences between Mac and Windows. In addition to that, even though I have used Google, I found that I did not use them effectively. For example, I have never used tasks before but now, it has already helped me a lot to remember my homework. It is difficult for me to use Mac because it is complecated but I am looking forward to learning how to use them in this class and becoming the person who can use them usefully in the future.
