In the last class, we had a
library orientation and learned how to use multiples of tools online. To be
honest, even if we had learned it last semester about how to utilize the OED,
Gale and Lexis Nexis, I never really used them efficiently. However, going over
the use of them in last class, I figured it is a shame not to make use of these
tools when it makes my research a whole lot easier and takes me to the next
level. Therefore, whenever I have something that I have to research for my
paper or for other classes, I would go online and make use of this. In
addition, I reassured that, Grammerly is highly useful when it comes to essays.
Again, I had never thought of using this, however, I will take my time to post
writings on there and enhance my writing skills.
In the orientation, other new tools
were introduced which I had never heard of; REFWORKS and Mendeley. For
REFWORKS, I was surprised that it consists 3200 types of writing styles and for
Mendeley, it amused me how it contains a system that is similar to Facebook
which allows us to share our documents. As I have mentioned it in my previous
blog posts, I am not very good working with technologies, therefore, I would try
to attend to one of the workshops that were introduced in the lecture and learn
step by step on how to use these efficiently and effectively.
Thanks for reading!:)
Hi Mana!
返信削除I also thought that although I'm not used to technologies, there is no reason not to use it to improve my paper. By the way, since I haven't really understood what REFWORKS or Mendeley was, your blog taught me many information!:) Nice blog!
Hi Mana,
返信削除Nice blog!
I actually have never used Grammerly before. But I agree with you, and I think I will definitely use it for my nexy essay because it seems very helpful for improving my writing.
I can relate to you, because I'm very bad at using technology. Hpopefully, these orientations and the RandP class will make me a better user of devices.
