Skunk Ape

I thought this tutorial was helpful. It refresh my memory on how to use online databases, journals, and a few other things I learned in Composition last semester. I also learned some new information about the library resources and the many abilities of the databases. I liked doing the matching type game with the cards. I thought it was a lot more fun than the quizzes. Having to match the parts of the citation was fun and very challenging since we all just started to master the MLA format. I felt that some of the information was repetitive, especially in the videos. I enjoyed a couple of the videos, but some were very dull and made me lose interest at some points. This tutorial was a lot better than I expected it to be. I figured it would be a super boring presentation, like a PowerPoint, but it had some fun activities. I would not really change anything about this tutorial expect make some of the videos more entertaining, if at all possible. I would also try to make the whole thing less repetitive.
