Recently, I had attended the BearCat the other Google. It was very interesting and I had learned a lot from it also. I had learned how you can find so much information from the Baruch BearCat website, by just sitting at home. It is ironic that we had the same event for English. We also learned how quoting, writing and/or can affect what type of information you can get.

I attended the Bearcat: The Other Google Workshop, which is part of the academic enrichment area. The workshop was held on October 20^th  from 1:30-2:00pm. The purpose of the workshop was to teach us about the databases that we could use from the Baruch website. This workshop was really helpful in the fact that it taught it gave us alternative websites to do research for our papers. The only problem was that we already learned all that during our English class that day so the information was a bit redundant, but other then that it was a pretty interesting workshop. I would definitely recommend this workshop to freshman’s because it teaches you about other research websites besides the ones you already know about.

I attended the the Bearcat workshop in the library, on October 20th at 1:30 p.m. This workshop explained how to use the databases for our research in our classes, which is a tool we’ll need over the next for years. About an hour prior to the workshop we had finished a similar activity with our English class which explained how to conduct research extremely thoroughly so I can’t say that this Bearcat workshop did a lot for me. I am still glad I went because the information was reiterated and it will be useful for me in the future.

I attended the bearcat:the other google workshop, and it is under the category of Academic Enrichment. I attended it on October 20th at 1:30 p.m. The workshop basically went over the structure of the databases offered by Baruch. It presented valuable databases in order to cite works needed for papers. It met my expectations, but the only problem was that we did go to the library before this workshop with our English class, and he discussed the same databases of Bearcat and we spoke about citing sources, both scholarly and popular. I would recommend it to another student who does not have a clear understanding of Bearcat’s databases. It is definitely valuable because instead of googling, or using wikipedia, we could find good sources on those databases that actually give us the ability to write a good paper.
