I thought I had two workshops to finish this week because I have only blogged about 4. When I looked at my passport, however, I realize that I never blogged about teh Academic Enrichment one. Although it was a while ago I remember attending two academic enrichment workshops. On Tuesday, October 20th I attended Using and Evaluating the Web for Research. I chose this one because I wanted to improve the way I get resources for papers. I remember all teh alte nights I stayed up in high school just because my resources were poor. I remember the speaker telling us to quote the topic so the computer recognizes it as prominent. I remember being told not to drag out long sentences and to keep every detail short. This way the computer will shoot back better resources. I remember going through an overview of Google Scholar and another search engine. It met my expectations and got a couple of neat facts out of it. The other workshop attended in this category was the Sacc: Everything you need to know to pass Math. This was held on Wednesday the 21st of October and I left early. However, I remember getting study tips and the final exam practice manual. I also remember being told that the SACC center has practice finals with explanations on a CD. I think this is pretty cool and might use it during finals week. All in all, these 2 workshops were helpful because they reinforced basic methods needed to suceed in the classroom.
