1-I learn how to do a research and how to narrow down my research to find what i need. I learn the difference between scholarly articles and popular non-news articles. Also, i learn how to find video or a book from the library search.

2- i think i do not have any problem with the topic we covered in this course. May be only the topic of the or and and these stuff.

3- it helps me writing my blog easily without doing a word file and upload it.

4- Nothing , it is a good one.

5- No thanks.
