The three things I learned during this course were:
- How to use the database:Before this class I was never introduced to the database and wasn’t good in searching, except if it was in Google. I learned a lot because of the basic step by step routine we took. I have one more year left in school and I can honestly say that I mastered my skills in using the database. Now I know for sure, whenever I will have a paper to write on some topic for my future classes, I will not be worried and be very appreciative of this class.
- Filter Bubble:The book and everything we went over regarding to the Filter Bubble, opened my eyes to what reality is like, now that technology is part of our daily lives. It took a while for me to understand some of the concepts but reading the book and even every exercises we did in class, broadened my ideas on the good and the ugly of the social media. I think now I can honestly say that I will be very careful with the information I provide on the internet, and how social media affects my future. As for the future classes, this may be very useful for me because I am in Public Affairs and it is always great to be very knowledgeable of what is going on in our technological society.
- Presentation:For some the presentation was just any other presentation they did in class. To me it was a battle with my own mind. I did presentations before but was never as comfortable to present as I was in this class. Professor, I appreciated the fact that you were very caring about my issue and that was all I could have asked for. For my future classes I can honestly and proudly say that this presentation helped me in some way many may not understand. It made me be more comfortable on my own skin, and I learned that I am capable of working in a group with amazing people.
