Blog Reflection 3- More Than Halfway Through!

All I can say is WOW! I have learned so much in this course that I would have never been able to accumulate on my own. The class has been just a bit overwhelming, but I enjoy reading and learning, and of course, surfing the internet. I have developed a greater respect for libraries and the internet and their resources. I am amazed at all the different ways I have learned to research. I do believe that the resources I have learned about are going to make researching much easier in the future. I am aware of some papers I will have to write in future general classes, and I am thankful that I chose to take this course during the summer, which will make things easier for me in the fall and spring. However, researching is never really simple. You have to work at it and know how to put things into your own words so that the instructor knows you understand the material and can apply it in your own way. I have always been a good writer, and I look forward to writing future papers. Someday I would like to write articles for an online newsletter, perhaps one I create on my own!

Hello Ruth!!

I too, turned 25 in June! Doesn't it suck? I feel old too! Well, I agree with you that it was a good decision to take this class. In coming semesters, I too, will have to take classes like Eng 1 and Eng 3, which definetely require some sort of research paper. But like you, I feel more confident about taking these courses...we have skills now!!!

I agree that this course has been overwhelming but the information provided is great. Researching can be a difficult task, but with this course things has become a bit simpler.
