Skunk APES????
While doing the skunk ape activity, I found the videos to be extremely boring and the work to be quite tedious but in the end, I actually did learn a few things. I never really knew what exactly should be looked up in a library catalog, an internet browser, or a data base. I just always searched through google. I also didn't really understand how much the FGCU library catalog could offer. I will most definitely be using that more. The final thing I did not know was exactly how to use a data base! Interesting stuff here, people. I found that a lot of information was common knowledge. I did really appreciate the review on citations. I have difficulty getting book, website, and journal all straight and correct. Overall, I do agree that everyone at FGCU should have to do this activity. Although boring, it was somewhat helpful.

The videos were boring but I learned a lot and will also be using the library catalog more often for research; it gives your more credible sources. If all students at FGCU did this activity there would probably be a better outcome of research papers
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more on the videos being boring! Some of the voices made it worse, but it was interesting to learn about the library catalog and how useful it can be!
