Blog Reflection 5

This is not my 1st time taking an online class, I had taken couple other course online before. I feel that more student interact with each other more online because some of the student just come to class to learn and once class is over they would leave. Not many of us would stay back to get to know our classmate. That why online class have more communication because we can take our time out to read other students comment when we are free and by that way it can help us communicate with each other.
Some of the things i have done in other online course is that the teacher would give us some example of each assignment, so it can help the student understand more on what they are suppose to do. I would like this course to have more examples on the assignment that we are doing. I think that taking an online class is easier and more understandable than taking classes in person eventhough some of the assignment seem to be confused but you can actually read more into it and understand the concept.
I also think that online is very appropriate for taking library research course because research are mostly done online because some of us might be lazy go to the library or either we don't have access to transpertation. Also taking the course online can help us locate more different website that we have never know about. I don't think i would come face-to-face workshop if there was one because my schedule is really busy and won't be able to come in when the school is open.

Information Competency is a source where you can obtain information from and knowing what type of source would be best for you to do research or even to look up information. Also it’s a source that can be analyzed, understanding and many more.

I think that Information Competency is important because we can be a successful student by knowing how to do our search. Also we will be able to utilized resources that can produce more efficient search for the following information that is available for our search.

An information competent student should be able to understand what they are required to search for and also take their topic as an interest in finding more information about with accuracy and effectively.

I think that I am an information competent student but not all the way yet. Over the past couple of weeks we have been covering many different topics on researching for things. I fee that after learn these great tips I can for know that when doing a research, what type would best fit for my resource topic and where would it be best to find those information. I think I can continue to improve my information competency skills by keep doing more research on different topics and find more sources that can provide me on different things. That way I would not forget how to be an Information competency student.

No, my opinion on the research process have not changed since the last time. As time go by and us doing more research week by week, i think that it have seem more easier to me then last time. In the past, when i need to do reasearch on something i would always use google.com or ask.com to search on the topic. But now after taking this class it have show me alot of many different website where i can find my research topic. Some of the things i have learn/realized in this course is that i can go online to lbcc library to help me do my research by either going to proquest, issues & controversies, Opposing Viewpoints, and many more to find articles, magazines, newspaper, or even pictures! This class have taught me alot throughout the summer course!

In the past few weeks i have participated in so many reading, websites, and things about the libraries, My opinion about libraries have change. At frist i think that libraries are not needed but turn out i think that libraries is a really important source to find information on what we wanted to know. I still think that we need the library to access information eventhough we have the internet today. The reason why i think that is because sometime we can't find things on the internet theres a library where we can look up information or resources. Internet play a major role in my life, i think without it i can not be able to find my direction around the cities. Internet help me find address to where i want to go, information on doing research, contacting family and friends from far distance, and many more.
