Overview of Assignments

I continue to Follow My Sources and Adding to Delicious.

I finally have answers for my Search Skills Test,
but I am unsure if they are the answer my teacher is seeking!
I think I am pretty good at finding things on the web and
I can usually figure out key terms, as well as print items.
I rarely think about using truncation, or Boolean terms.
I think I am slightly above the average person when it comes to finding items,
but not nearly as knowledgeable as I would like to be 
before showing someone else how to do something.

We needed to read three chapters this week 
and post a discussion board question/answer over one aspect of the chapters,
plus take a quiz over the terminology.
I am responsible for the summary of the discussion board posts this week
and I have yet to take the quiz.
Honestly I have not given it a thought since Wednesday
and I need to study more today before taking the quiz.

I took my connector's quiz last week and did okay. 
 I think I could go back and do better
but I think I am satisfied with the grade.

It has been one of those weeks, and honestly,
I am just trying to get through it!

  1. I would like to be a lot more knowledgeable before showing someone else how to do something too. It would be nice to work with someone in person (instead of online) on how to search more effectively.

  2. I am with you on being satisfied with my first grade. I may Jenny up and make a second attempt; however, that quiz was simply horrific and I pray that there is not another one like it. I am certainly glad that it was untimed! I find now that I am more aware of such and have been blessed with the opportunity to improve my knowledge of such. However, I would stand to improve on this subject much more quickly had there been the vocabulary flash cards and other studying tools made available as with the other quizzes. Those are very helpful and I wish that every instructor were as helpful as ours has been. I am definitely with you in just trying to get through it; however, I am at the end completing my blog and it appears that I have accomplished another week's session. Have a good week.
