SLO Reflection One.

I can honestly say this course has helped me become a better reader and researcher. The days went by so quickly but I know what I have learned will be beneficial in my college years to come. All in one quarter, I have learned to use my readings to the furthest extent. This course has taught me how to analyze texts more throughly and grabs key points that could help me get a better understanding. We read two different books and countless articles, and had assignments like creating a precis or the annotate bibliography, which gave me another aid to interpret the material we were discussing. Before this class, I have never used a database to find my resources. I would either find an online source by probably finding it on google, or using a book I looked for in the library, or use our reading to back up my argument. I feel lucky I learned how to use tools like WorldCat early on in the year because I can make use of it for classes to come and they are such easy resources that you can easily attain. Reading or researching may not be my forte, but I can certainly say this quarter has given me a good foundation to my reading and researching in the future ahead of me and I can only keep improving from what I've attained from having this class.
