Is my nervous day


I’m really nervous! It’s my first lesson for this subject while it’s already the second lesson for the other classmates. I’m kind of lost because I don’t really know what to expect from this lesson. But I guess I will just try my best to do well in this cds.I want to maintain my GPA!

So after reading the overview and portfolio given to me, I felt so stress. There is so much to do and I’m afraid that I might miss out some of them. I seriously hope that the teacher can really guide me during the class and aid me in this subject. I think I need to seek help for the next lesson already.

Alright, for the time being I would just like to summarise what I have absorb during the class. Today, the teacher asked us to pick the topic for our portfolio, and she needed two students to choose the first topic. Just my luck that two people volunteered and everybody gets to have their topic in mind!

I have chosen topic 3 which is, '
Discuss the developments on renewal energy sources in the world'. I choose this topic as I’m a science student and I’m more interested in nature and Sci-Fi rather than those electronic stuffs. Also, when I’m doing on this topic, I would get to know more information on the internet which the textbook does not provide. After we picked the topic, we were asked to do some research in the lab. But since I haven uploaded my first blog post yet, I got to do it in the lab and to leave my researching work after class. The objectives of the practical lesson are to identify the categories of Internet resources, as compared the different categories and purposes of Internet resources. After which we have to blog about the reflections on the lessons learnt from the practical.
According to the list online there are 4 categories which is organisational websites, blogs, magazine and discussion forum.
From the research, I found out that due to the fact that the organisations has to maintain their well built reputation, they have to provide relatively accurate and reliable information and the information they provides often comes with pictures and statistic facts. Sometimes they also provide extra information such as links to other websites.
We all know that a blog is very personal. It is a way to let the authors to express their feeling or to present their work. The author may put in different opinion and it may be inaccurate because we know that different person have different point of views.
As for the magazine, they provide a large range of information and it is like a compressed dictionary. It contains a lot of information and is very detailed. It also often comes with pictures and explanations. So, if I were to do a research, I will first go for the magazine because I will get the most information from there.
Lastly, the discussion forum. A discussion forum is a forum whereby members can discuss and give opinion about different issues. However, their replies will be permanent and members cannot make changes to it. This forum is good to a certain extend for it might not be accurate as different people have different viewpoints. Not only so, sometimes tension between members can occur during discussions.
That’s all I’ve learnt from my lesson. Guess it was pretty interesting, isn’t it!
