1. Please describe or explain three skills or concepts you learned in LALT 101 this semester.

I learned at LALT 101 throughout the semester a lot. There are main three skills I learned in LALT 101 this semester. They are 1- knowing how to extract the key words out of anything 2- using the “library” site 3- searching “Google” site, for example Google News, Google Books
2. Think about the topics we covered in LALT 101 this semester:
-Are there ideas & skills you are still confused about? That you feel the course should spend more time on?

I understood the course and the units very well. The class period, in my opinion, should be extended, as the student would make use of that in better understanding.
*Are there topics or skills that we did not include in the course that you think we should?
I think the course should cover all the services the library offer to the students

*Are there topics we included that you feel we do not need to?

Absolutely no. The units were totally useful

3. What did you like or not like about using a blog for your homework?
Actually, I found very convenient way to do my assignments because I am always using the Internet, so using a blog would definitely very helpful.

4. Anything else you’d like to tell us about LALT?

I just want to thank Ms. Rose a lot for her extraordinary explanation to every unit
