Week 7

This week was a little interesting. With the discussion going down. Some of my work from week six was done on a different computer so I didn't have it saved on computer but I had it written out on paper, good thing too. So I had to re type all of it.
Web Citation wasn't too hard it was easier than citing a book. I thought I did okay on that one.
Advanced Google search was great. I found out that there was more to google than I had originally thought. I know I'll use that information again in the future.
Web search was interesting. I learned which places worked best in finding what I was needing.
I learned a lot this week and enjoyed myself. This week taught me to save everything no matter what computer you are on. I think I'm learning a lot on Tuberculosis.

Week 6

When I started on the Periodical Databases assignment I started having trouble with the sites. I dont know what happened but they kept freezing on me.
The my search strategy assignment was easy. I used a dictionary and thesaurus to help me find some related words and synonyms and then tried searching with those words on different websites and got new information.
The my search results assignment went okay. The only thing I had real problems with was the MLA formatting.
The revised research plan was easy because most of it was the same with a few additions to make it better.
The more I research this topic the more Im interested in it. I find out things I didnt know before. Being around people that have TB where I work this helps me to learn more about it and help them to try and not feel so alone.

Week 5

This week was horrible I am not good at MLA formatting. I went through and used the readings provided to help me to try and put my citations in the right format. I was easier having a sheet infront of me then trying to do it from memory. So this week helped me in improving my MLA citing abilities.
With the annotation analysis I just used the readings to find out what made the annotations good or not. It was a pretty easy assignment.
Citing and Annotating Sources was kind of difficult for me. I tried to write an annotation correctly, but I'm not sure I got it quite right.
I think this week helped me to understnad things I otherwise wouldnt have like annotations. It wasn't a extremely hard week, but it was no piece of cake either. Im looking forward to next week.

Week 4

This week was pretty interesting. The assignment of the origin of Canuck was interesting. It was a little difficult to figure out which ideas were true and which ones weren't. I thought it was hard to make it seem like my idea was the right one since there were so many ideas out there. I learned that not everything you find on the internet is true, so you should watch where you get your information.
For the assignment Selecting Information Sources I went to the Big Bend Library as well as hitting the internet. I wasnt able to watch the video but I was able to read about it on the link provided. I really had to use my head on this one.
The Research Plan assignment kind of gave me a rough plan on what I was going to need to do.
I think that its going to help me in the long run.
