#13: Reflection 1 - Previous Courses

Assalamualaikum wbt

From the previous courses that we have learned in English Language and Literature, there are few courses that gave us the opportunity to use the computer as a tool for education. In the subject of Phonetics and Phonology, the lecturer asked us to search for videos and the IPA chart that would help us on improving our phonetics skills. There are also exercises that the lecturer asked us to download from the sites that she linked to us so that we can have better understanding on what Phonetics and Phonology is all about. We also did our own research on the sub-topics that we learned in class. It really did helped us in improving our skills and understanding.

In Writing class also, we did use the computer to search for our own topic to write for the research paper. We use the computer as our medium to find resources from different sites. We also use the computer to do citations in the correct way and we did learned a few other citations or bibliographies such as the MLA and Chicago style of citations. It is such a convenient tool of education in this class.

In general, there are more courses that are being offered nowadays required us to use the computer. By using it, it makes us to do the work much faster and it is much simpler. In this tech savvy world, computer has become a medium for people to connect with the virtual world which is more bigger and wider. There are many things that we could find in this virtual world either good or bad. But hopefully it is more to good side of it. We can make full use out of it when it comes to education. Andddd.....BY USING COMPUTER WE ALSO CAN SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT BY NOT USING TOO MANY PAPER! Hehe.
