homework 4

Hi everyone!
How are you?
As you know, yesterday, we took a class about databases.
It was really useful because we could get a lot of information about some kinds of databases.
I already often use "ProQuest" when we look for sources. My favorite database is "ProQuest" because we can find only full text if we choose and so, we do not need to waste our time to distinguish full text sources from all. Also, I think that  "ProQuest" provides adequate sources. What is more, it also provides good citation.

For these reasons, I often use "ProQuest".
However, yesterday, I realized that there are other good sources such as "LexisNexis" not only "ProQuest". I want to use these sources for next essay!

In short, This class was really meaningful for me because I could get so much good information that is useful for next essay.
Thanks to these database, I believe that I can save our time when writing essay!

Thank you for reading!
Bye:)

3rd homework

Hi ;)

This is my 3rd homework. This time my blog is about works cited!

In my essay, I try to write about Gender Identity Disorder (GID). I will use these books in order to get information about GID, for I do not know about it well. Especially, the first book is very useful for me because in my essay, I will write about children.

Fathi, Nazila. “Despite Denials, Gays Insist They Exist, If Quietly, in Iran.” The New York Times 30 Sept. 2007. NYTimes.com. Web. 22 Sept. 2014. 
Rowland, David L, and Luca Incrocci. Handbook of Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders. New Jersey and Canada: John Wlley & Son, 2008. Print.
Zucker, Kenneth J. Gender Identity Disorder and Psychosexual Problems in Children and Adolescents. 1st edition. New York: The Guilford Press, 1995. Print. 

For me, using ZOTERO is very hard and difficult, but if I can use it smoothly, it really helps me writing my essay. So, I want to master it!! 

Thank you!!!

2nd Homework on survey!

Hello everyone! How are you? This is my secound blog. Thank you for your reading. In this blog, I would like to show you the result of my survey anout ICU life and my comment on it.

I hope all you guys have enjoyed your school life since you entered ICU.
Whether you have enjoyed it or not, you all went through spring term probably without any problems, even though the assignments are so tough.
So, maybe you are already used to life in ICU!

Now, I am so happy because 17 in 19 members answered my survey, and so, I could know your feelings! Sincerely thank you for your response

 

How much do you like ICU as a whole?             

		I hate ICU. 0 0% I do not like ICU so much. 0 0% I like ICU. 5 28% I like ICU very much. 13 72%   This graph show that all 2D students like ICU.  I am so happy to know this result because this means that many students are proud of their school.  I believe this is one of the good characteristics of ICU.
		Why do you like ICU? GIve me a reason! We have the liberal arts education with the great environment and facilities. I lave the nature in ICU It's because there are many people who has many different backgrounds and I can always get inspired from them. students are fascinating So many nice people!! Like the liberal arts program! Every student is independent and has a variety of views. I like the abundant nature of ICU. it's just a perfect environment for me! it's good place to enrich my English, and I can study what ever I want to! Its people! I like ICU's atmosphere. It's like a park! love the campus and people Section mates are awesome! good environment with good people! Because it has hatake because i feel free here and the teachers are enthusiastic about teaching eating lunch at Baka-yama is the best moment. Liberal arts Because students are great! These are reasons why they like ICU. Some refer to nature in ICU, and others refer to people in ICU....  In my case, I like ICUvery much because people in ICU are great!  They are intelligent, have creativity and critical thinking, and they inspire me:) I like ICU students. No 0 0% Yes 18 100% This shows that all 2D students like ICU students! It is very good thing.   How often do you sleep in classes? Never 2 11% sometimes 13 72% often 3 17% every classes 0

Through this question, I wantd to know whether classes in ICU are interesting or not.  Judged only from this result, some classes are not so interesting.  However, students' conditions and something else can be reasons for their sleeping,  so in order to know more anout them, I need more survey. These are the results of my survey! Thank you for your taking time to answer my questions!  Love you all <3

	And also, thank you for your reading:)  Have an awesome day!!

Homework for 1st R&P class!

How do you think the tools or strategies that you will learn in this class will be helpful for your academic research? 

     I believe they are really helpful for our academic research in two respects.

First, we will probably learn tools and strategies to find good sources. They are very helpful because by knowing these skills, we can find reliable sources quickly. If we do not know them when we try to find sources to write academic reports, it takes much time to find good sources and also, the sources that we find may not be good. By learning tools and strategies to find sources, we can avoid wasting our time and using bad sources. 

     Second, in this class, I believe that we will learn how to give a good presentation. This skill is helpful in that we can find good way for presentation, and that we can get used to the presentation. We do not have so many opportunities to learn tools and strategies for presentation, so by learning them, we can get great skills that many students in other universities do not know.

How comfortable are you using technology for learning? What devices and apps do you use now that help you in your life as student?
 
      I cannnot use technology comfertably because sometimes it is too complicated for me. Also, I do not use new or interesting devices snd apps now. I want to know good devices and apps.
