Reflection 1

Well, seeing the given topics, I now see that I will not post just anything that I see to be important. But it's OK, perhaps within the time that we are sharing blogs I will squeeze in a few pieces of information that I hope is found interesting.

As far as Library 3 goes, I am liking this course a lot. It's quite simple to get the basics of doing research when you follow step by step directions. However, I do still find it difficult to physically go into a library and do research [but my next blog will show the experience I had when doing so]. I find myself in a dilemma, well not really, I know that I prefer using online sources over anything else. I'm from a new generation! With different outlooks on how to complete work. What do you expect?!?! Many people call it 'laziness,' however, sociologist refer to it as the technology stage. Where we [the newest generation] are accustomed to retrieving loads of information in a short time span. The Seven Steps of the Research Process is nothing new to me; I have been working on research for some time, though it does help to refresh ones memory from time to time.

In the long run, as for this course, I am hoping to 'sharpen the saw' when it comes to gathering and citing information and sources, so that once the Fall comes around, I will be looking for a first round knock out [straight A's and B's I hope].
