Practical 9

For week 15, our practical activities are relatively simple since this week marks the end of our assignment 2. There will be three activities which we would need to complete after we have submitted our assignment. Firstly, we would need to get into our assignment 2 groupings and access OLE e-learning materials on practicals 6-8 and test our understanding by playing a quiz. For activity 2, we would need to present our group's WIKI summary on the topic that we had researched on and highlight one website that our group had evaluated for this summary. Lastly, we will have to describe in a paragraph, the most important lesson that we have learned so far into our blog.


Activity 3 - Blog Reflections

Throughout the entire semester, UIR have thought me well in the areas of internet resource tool and how to make good use of it. I have also learnt the various search engines that are available on the internet and their usage as well as functions. I have learnt the right way to search for information using keywords as well as how to create a blog. I have learned the importance of time management as well as the habit of updating my blog after every lessons so as not to accumulate them in the last minute. Lastly, I hope that whatever I've learnt from UIR in this entire semester would benefit me in my future!

Practical 8

For Practical 8 in week 13, lessons will be back to normal. For this practical, we are required to compile all resources that our group has retrieved for assignment 2. After which cite the resources according to the APA citation format and compile them into a biliography. There will also be a closed book test (Class Test 2) based on lectures 4 to 6 which eventually constitutes to 6% of UIR course work.
