What is the hardest thing about finding information and doing research on a topic for you personally? Did this Library Research course help? In what ways did this course help you? (Or if the course didn’t help, why not? What would have been more helpful and/or useful to you?

The challenge I face when researching a topic personally is finding reliable information. I have to ask myself "Is this true?" or "Would the teacher accept this?". Another challenging factor when researching is when it has to be from a specific source, in a specific format, and specific in general. I am definitely not a fan for it when it comes to research and sometimes even writing. I also find citing the information a challenge because it's tedious for me, but I know I have to do it, even if I give the author credit in the essay (perhaps that is why I find it annoying and tedious). The library research course helped in some of the places such as other ways to define plagiarism because some of the ways I didn't know about. Though the class helped me, in other ways, I don’t think it helped because most of the things taught I knew about, but there are a few things I missed in between. Something that would have been useful was helping us construct a research paper because I have a few weaknesses to fix when it comes to that. I am really grateful for the course, though I got off to a rough start (and will probably fail). It was an interesting class and it helped me, though I believe it should help more with the things that the class as a whole finds perplexing. Another way that I suggest would be helpful is the dos and don’ts when it comes to researching a paper. Other than that, I was glad to learn the things that I missed when learning this in my high school English classes since they can only go into depth in a limited amount of time—the first day and a little of the second usually, but the teachers never go further with it. The class is helpful in some ways.
