Question 1: Look back over the activities we did in class over the semester. Then write about 3 things did you learn this semester that you can apply to coursework here at Baruch (if you’re graduating this spring, think of the classes you’ve taken in the past) and what is 1 thing that you wish we had covered in this class that would have helped you in your other classes?

The most important thing that I learned from the class and actually applied in other classes was:

i) Databases: I had a huge project in one of my Management classes and had to come up with a business plan by the end of the semester. Learning about using databases in our LIB3040 class turned out to be very helpful, as it eased my research work. I had almost never used the databases for any of my research work until this class.

ii) Mindmeister: Mindmeister was a great tool that I picked up from the class, and though I did not use it for any classes this semester, but I know for sure that I will be using it in the near future. It was very easy to use and helped me learn about concepts graphically.

iii) Screenshots: This may sound a bit random, but I always preferred using a Mac in the library because I did not know about the Snipping Tool in Dell Computers. I aggressively used the Snipping Tool right after I learned of it in the class, and this I tell you, was a life saver.

The one thing that I wished was covered in class which would have helped me would be:

More Videos: I learned a lot of new, interesting things in the class, but would definitely recommend more videos as a way to stay more alert. The most things I learned in class were any topic that had a video incorporated to it. It just helped me become more alert and focused in class and wished there had been more of those.
