Once again, I'm glad there was some speaking examples that was available in speech buddy. The example of the informative speech was helpful in giving me an idea about what an informative speech will be like.
One of the things that I thought was a good thing to bring up in the 6.1 video was going to a librarian for help. Some people might not think about that when they have questions finding reference material. In one of my English classes I had to do a research essay and I wasn't having much luck finding the information that I needed on my own. After spending quite a few minutes at one of the library search computers a librarian came up and asked me if I needed help. Once I explained what I was trying to do, he immediately started writing down different keywords that I had not thought of to use in the search, and then directed me towards the best search engine to find what I was looking for. I found some of my best material because of that. Next time I have trouble finding reference material, I'll ask a librarian. :)
I do enjoy watching the videos also because I think it helps me understand a little more because sometimes just reading it alone doesnt always make sense and i think that it helps clarify it more. I never really thought about asking a librarian for help but really thats what their job is and they should be well versed about things in their library or how to search for a certain topic. They are really good sources of information and also a good help. I also next time I find myself in the library and need help will probably be asking the librarian too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first came to college in my first week of the semester I had to go to the library and find some information. I was new in this country, so I got lost a little when looking in all of the books. Just like you I did not look for help, but then I got frustrated for not finding the right information I went and asked a librarian. I had no idea that looking for the right information can be so easy. The librarian showed me how to look the right way information on the computer, and between the shells. Now I know who to ask when I can't find something.
