On ThursdayI had went to the database survival workshop. The workshop was pretty interesting. I didn’t realize there were so many steps in researching information. Such as you have to take vocabulary into consideration when searching, otherwise you would search up needless information. Basically the workshop was to inform us how to lessen the time we look up information and focus only at the subject we are researching. Overall it was an alright workshop. This workshop took only half an hour so it wasn’t so bad considering there were not enough seats and a majority of the people had to stand.

the workshop was ok i guess. i didn’t really think it was very usefull though. the only thing i got out of it ( as did almost everyone else) is the importance of the correct vocabulary. It was too crowded so i didnt hear most of it, but i guess it was ok. It was only half hour so I guess he covered all the necessary stuff in that time on how 2 search the Baruch database.
yeah i went to this workshop too. like everyone else, i remember the guy emphasizing on the right wording and vocabulary to help with the research. because it was so short, i didnt really get much out of it. with the kind of research im doing now, i dont really need a database. google is sufficient enough for most of my papers
I didn’t really think the workshop was necessary even that guy who was hosting it knew that the students were not going to use the database that much . Everyone has a internet at home and anyone could use google so I dpn’t see the point.
i think this workshop was very useful. i never knew that baruch had a database and now that i know i can use it for my papers and research and stuff. i did thnk that the workshop was a little short and that there was more that he didn’t talk about
yeah, we learned that not only it saves our time on finding the right vocabulary but also narrow down the searches. The place was too crowded so it’s really hard for us to hear what the instructor is talking about.
I didnt find the workshop really informing at all. i think it would help if they had us test out some of the methods so that we might actually remember them in the future.
The workshop was alright, but i felt that there were too many people there and not very organized. I can’t really hear what the guy was saying, since there were so many people in front of me. However, i did hear him stress on the importance of using the right vocabulary so that we can find exactly what we want faster. It was pretty informative, it could help me in the future.
