Reflection 5

This is not my first online course that I have taken. I feel like there was less student interaction because not as much student actually use the chat to communicate with each other. I prefer face-to-face classes because its less complicated. I believe traditional class is much easier to learn because we have the instructor in the classroom, and he/she can explain to us in detail and answer any questions we have. If there was a face-to-face class for Library 3, I would prefer coming instead of taking online because it would been much easier for me. But on the other hand, I would take the class online because of my work schdule.

I believe that information competency mean that information that are break down into every details possible. I believe information competency is important to me because it gives me a more understanding about information that are available to me. When I know the information in detail, I can applied my knowledge easily. I believe since I have taken this course, I am an information competency student. After this course is over, I can still use my knowledge of information competency to complete research paper.

Reflection 2

For the past couple of weeks, my opinions about library changes a little. Theres more information that's given to me in my reading assignements. It break it down for me to understand more about libraries and other strategies. Doing the assignment lets me apply my knowledge from what I have learn. I believe even with internet access, we should still have libraries around. I believe so because some people prefer having an actual book to read from. Internet helps me search for information faster and easier. But when it comes to reading a book, i prefer going to the library, checking out the book and read it.

Reflection 3

I really thought that I would just learn basic ways to reseach that I already know how. But actually, I learn so much more since I been taking this course. It gives me lots of different resource to use to make my reseach much easier and give me much more information that I can use to put in my research paper. For example, its really interesting to find out about the statistics educational attainment. I would neva knew about this website. Its so interesting that the males make more than female. And the difference between having a highschool dipolma and having a bachlor degreee.
