In this Unit 2 I have learned quite a few new things. The
one thing that stands out the most is the library data base and how to properly
conduct research. I have found in my readings, using the process method to be
very helpful. I would have never thought of using the method to conduct my
research, and in the future I plan on trying it out.
Part of the process
includes using the library data base. I like the database because it is a
reliable source. I can use it rather than using the internet explorer to save time.
Not only will I save time, but I can be sure that all the articles I am reading
are legit and have been reviewed before publishing. This will insure my
research for my paper to be 100% accurate. This Unit has taught me how to correctly
use the data base to narrow my results down to my specific topic. I have found this
extremely helpful and useful.
One thing I did have a question about from the Unit was our
Vocabulary test. I was curious for future references, what website or dictionary
you use to find your definitions. All though I did do well on the test I did
struggle, because the website I used had multiple definition for certain words
and it confused me. I found it confusing during the test to match up my definitions
with yours. Other than that I do not have any more questions.
I found that the library database can be really helpful doing research papers. I have not been fully introduced to all of the data bases until this past week, but I did have to find some articles on some of them during Human Anatomy. I also had a little bit of trouble with the vocabulary definitions matching up to the test.
ReplyDeleteAnnetta,what website did you use for your definitions? I used merriam-webster dictionary.
ReplyDeleteKaren, the library database is a great way to find accurate information when doing researches. Yes, it does save a lot of time.I know I will be using this on papers. On our Vocabulary Test I did great on it. I found multiple definitions for the words also. But, I downloaded a dictionary app on my Android phone and found the definition of the words. I hope this can be helpful to you.
ReplyDeleteI am totally with you on the group project instead of the final. I'm not big on test taking anyway! But dream on right!! As for meeting up for a study group there is no way for me. The reason for taking online classes is so I can be home with my family. plus I'm sure most everyone goes to class while I am at work. Having to be a grown up really sucks sometimes!! lol
ReplyDeleteI usually use my paper dictionary when making the vocabulary tests. Would it help if I put the parts of speech next to the words?
ReplyDeleteAlso, Christa, I feel like I've missed something with your comment.
After reading all of the blogs, I'm guessing Christa meant for this comment to go on Emily's blog.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what she was talking about.Yes!Please put the parts of speech next to the words.I feel this would be very helpful.
