CLO #7

“practice using various library resources, online databases, and the Internet to locate sources appropriate to your writing projects”

 

By the end of the semester, I became very accustomed to using the internet, the CCNY library database, and other resources in order to find credible, factual sources that could be used as supporting evidence. Every assignment besides the Memo required a references page, and researching has never been a problem for me. For the Technical Description, Lab Report and Engineering Proposal, multiple sources were used, ranging from studies, news reports, scholarly articles, academic journals, and magazines. I will say that I have not explored the CCNY library database as much as I want to. I think if I understand all of the search features better, it will become faster for me to find the sources I need. Figure 1 shows a portion of my Engineering Proposal’s reference page.
