There are many ways I think I could apply what I’ve learned in this course to future ones. Research is definitely an essential way of finding information that you need for potential arguments. While I used to rely on Google to provide me answers, it would usually come to no avail because there weren’t enough […]
From my research argument I came to the conclusion that student health is extremely dependent on knowledge, and awareness of nutrition on the food people encounter. For my multimodal project I created a quiz to inform (mainly students) on the foods they encounter on a daily basis. This might influence their dietary behaviors in a […]
What a year it has been. I still remember Week 1 of this quarter when we stepped into class as research novices without any idea how to Boolean search, what hunting and gathering meant, or where we could locate different sources in BEAM. Overall, my favorite part of the process was really using research to […]
When you have a full 10-page essay, it may be hard to get an everyday person to read it. This is what the multimodal project was made for, to translate your researched argument into a more suitable mode of presenting your argument. This can be in the form of a brochure, flier, poster, or […]
In this library session I learned about all the ways I could make my life easier in order to complete our next assignment. Gail taught us about the different ways we could learn more about the authors we read and learn from. More importantly, this helps us better understand their upbringings, biases, and other important […]
Kantz writes that realm of which I student is doing his research is called “the territory” or subject of the research one is conducting. While the gaps are the holes of knowledge we have to fill for better understanding of a topic. So for me, my territory is the actual scu.library, this is where […]
Today we had an optional peer review, and it was actually a lot nicer than I thought. Before my motivation for coming to the peer review session was just for extra credit, but it turned out that it didn’t just help me in the fact that It might have boosted my participation grade (most likely […]
In ‘Helping Students Use Textual Sources Persuasively’, Margaret Kantz talks about what to do before, during and after we read. Before reading, she believes we require a moment of preparation so that we can get ready. We can do this by thinking about an argument we’ve recently had that people have disagreed on. This helps […]
Today we peer reviewed our annotations and reflections. For this class, I got a lot of feedback that helped with my revision when I got home. A lot of people told me that I needed more of the connectivity between all more sources. They said I did a great job at summarizing, and raising the […]
The article I found had to do with student nutrition, and how certain aspects of a colleges’ dining system affects things like student health. I completed a Boolean search and entered College* or student* or dining* in my search bar. This gave me approximately 152 sources to pick from, where I individually searched for […]
