The Skunk Ape Tutorial

The Skunk Ape tutorial was helpful. It was very easy to follow and had quiz questions to test your knowledge. Truthfully I expected the tutorial to be much less helpful and much more boring. Although I knew most of what it was trying to teach us, it was a good source to refresh my memory. The first research paper I remember writing was in fifth grade, so many of the things mentioned and taught in the tutorial seemed very elementary. I feel as though everyone should know how to do all of this before they reach college level. For people who don’t already know all of this information, I can see how it would be a very good source for them. It was easy, well laid out and clear. Learning how to use the Library system and database was a useful tool however. All schools and libraries are different so I think that part of the tutorial was very helpful. I wish I would have been taught how to use the system in the first few weeks of Comp.1. Personally, I try to avoid the library at all costs, but knowing how to use the system will definitely ease the anxiety I have when it comes to the library experience.
