My close reading skills I would say have enhanced a bit. I have learned to take the large pieces of information and try to point out the main ideas, rather than being overwhelmed at the paragraphs in front of me. I also learned that taking small notes of the things that stand out help also. It allows me to remember the points that I wrote down clearly, because knowing myself I read over the paragraphs and keep going, as if it all goes "in one ear and out the other" theoretically of course.
Research was an area I was not at all worried about. During high school I spent countless hours on research essays and projects. However, I never anticipated the difficulty of finding an article in college would be. So learning how to use the UWT library's search as well as learning how to use worldcat will forever help me to find the things I need.
