In class we all had to take a Skunkape test. Honestly it was the most boring but relevant quiz I've taken. Just the minor fact that it was helpful to me is good enough. It taught me how to research better; and even what type of research to look for. I would say when it comes to the library my attitude towards that is non-existing. Mainly because i can find the best sleep in the library. With the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, it just doesn't help me study. My studying environment is louder than i would like and i have adapted to it.
Another lesson learned from this test is using the database to the point where its helpful and understandable. When i was first introduced to the databases i was astonished but it became hard to comprehend so i think the Skunkape helped me out with that problem. My whole opinion of the library still didn't change and never will but now i know where to find what i need.
I agree with you about the library I can use it to find books but not to sit and do my paper, I also have to have a loud or noisy environment to do work. I also found this assignment boring but somewhat helpful.
ReplyDeleteI think the quiz was boring too. It was not a complete waste of time though. I learned a lot about how to research things more effectively.
ReplyDeleteI can agree that the library is not a place that I usually go to study. It is just boring to me, but I think it can be very useful for research because you have more credible sources
ReplyDeleteI agree that all this information that was thrown at us, was a bit too much! But it did knock some knowledge into us about how to use different research methods!
