Last class we had a tutorial at the library that was called "the search for the skunk ape". I found the tutorial very helpful because I actually had no idea how to use the library website. The libraries in Mexico are not good at all so if I needed information it is easier to just pull it out of the internet so it was really refreshing that I could find that much information without actually have to go to the library.
The three things I did not know that I learned in the tutorial was first, how to distinguish reliable sources to the ones that are not accurates; second, I learned how to find good sources with a lot of information that culd be helpful to write a paper; third, I learned the diference between paraphrasing and quoting which I found very important, since English is not my first language I found this tutorial helpful because it helps me to improve my writing.

I totally agree with your opinion about this tutorial. This tutorial provided important information for students who are new to this university and didn’t know how to use library’s sources. It was a very helpful and educational tutorial. I understand how to locate credible resources at the library online databases, and how to cite my sources to give credits to authors. This will avoid plagiarism. What are the differences between Mexico and America library system? Also, how are they similar? I like your blog’s songs and background. Can you teach me how to make some changes to my blog? See you in class! =)
First of all, your profile is great! I agree, I also think this tutorial was very helpful and it also improved my writing. I also was confused with the difference between paraphrasing and quoting, but this tutorial also helped me distinguish the difference.
