INFORMATION LITERACY ( Second Week Reflection )


''SECOND WEEK
  REFLECTION''
                                                                                
“Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand”


    During week 2, when I entered to class I was feeling so happy. When the lecturer came to class we as students welcomed her and then the lecturer started with the new lesson. First of all the lecturer asked some questions about the previous lesson that whether we understood or no, and most of the students answered the questions and then, the lecturer started to persuade us a lot and to try much more harder in the future. Then we started with our new lesson. Week 2 was all about sources, different types of dictionaries and databases. First we studied Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sources. Furthermore, before starting our new lesson the lecturer evaluated us by some questions that how we understand about this new lesson and what are our ideas about this lesson. Subsequently, the lecturer told us about these lessons. We have taught that Primary source is an original object or document, first-hand information. Such as: diaries, letters, memories, journals, speeches, interviews and so on so forth. Secondary source is something written about a primary source. Usually the author of a secondary source will have studied the primary source. Such as: journals, books, radio TV documentaries and so on. Tertiary source is the distillation and collection of primary and secondary sources. Such as: bibliographies of bibliography, directories of directories, guides to the literature and so on.


     


    Moreover, the lessons were so interesting and we have learned all those materials which we haven’t known before. It was really helpful and useful information for all the students. Move along, we started with next lesson about library that what is Library and what are library services. The lecturer taught and gave us much more information about Library and its services. Library services such as: book lending, reading room, printing, photocopy, information search, multimedia collection and on. After we taught by our lecturer all the students were able to know what is library and what are their services. Next, we studied about encyclopedia, dictionaries, glossary, lexicon, thesaurus vocabulary and so on. She has shown all the differences and its usage.
    To sum up it, it was a wonderful, awesome and interesting week. We have gained and seek much more information about all these lessons which we haven’t know before. We are really thankful to our lecturer who is helping, trying and guiding us in our lessons.

 Sincerely,

Said Abid S/O Said Tahir.
