Week 4

    I thought Dr. Lubach's presentation was great and helpful. He made the point that critical thinking is extremely important; that is the best way to learn and that is how people develop. I found it particularly helpful for my life because at times before even putting a great amount of time into a probl
em, I would want help. Something else that I learned from this is that it is not a bad thing to help friends with work, but friends should take the time to think about problems before I help them. Something else that I lied about his presentation is that he gave the idea that you may not end up doing what you plan on doing. He said to leave your mind open for new ideas and opportunities.

    Some things I learned about the library visit is that we have a huge amount of information that we are connected to. There is a normal search for books and encyclopedias, but also we can get our hands on research articles. This way, we can get information that is more recent and up to date. Something I did not know though is that some professors may ask you to use primary sources. Prior to the library visit, I did not even know what a primary source was. Now I am glad to know what it is and where to go when I need it. I thought that this week taught me important ideas that I will need for these recent years to come.
