Today was a good class for me to improve my essay. As Mr. Paterson give advice to other students, I found some mistakes in my essay too. I felt I need to use more references and follow the basic techniques by writing an introduction and conclusion.
After this class, I checked my introduction to check the constitution of the thesis statement and the concluding sentences of each paragraph. There were some of the parts that I didn't include, such as limitations in the conclusion so it was a good chance for me to improve them.
Also, I recognized the importance of the reference. I liked the example of the best friend, that I thought I won't believe the person if they said my best friend hates me without any grounds. If we did not include any references in the essay, the essay will only be some one's imagination or some one's writing. to have a huge persuasiveness in the essay, references are essential.

In today's class, I was taught how to use Zotero by Mr. Paterson. Last class, I couldn't understand how to use it properly and I had problems at home, so it was very helpful for me. However, I can't say that I mastered using it, so I want to use it as I write an essay and master this convenient tool.
I also edited my essay too, as I only had four paragraphs. My structure of the essay was the introduction, issue one and the solution, issue two and the solution, and the conclusion. So, I changed to write the two problems first, and show the formula in one paragraph. Making the essay long made the essay a little bit better, but I also think this structure made the essay complicated. Also, finding references was also difficult, as my problem was not that measure. So, I found the references which show the importance of saving the privacy, or appealing how important to learn in a comfortable environment.
I would like to enhance my essay more, by using good references.

In today's class, we had a chance to enhance the brochure for groups and individuals. For me, I forgot to write the three reasons in the introductions, so this time helped me to improve the essay.
Also, I used Zotero in this class, but I couldn't use it properly. I actually did not understand how to use it, so I would search for some one who can teach me how to use it.
The most difficult thing was to find good references for supporting my opinion and make the opinion persuasive. It took much time to find the references that I prefer, but I also have a feeling that how references are important.
I want to use good references and have a persuasive presentation and an essay.

Because we couldn't get the computers, Mr. Parterson introduced us, the app called Zotero. Zotero was a reference managing app, and I felt it was a high-performance app. Using this, we do not make any mistakes in writing references which we can not have any mistakes.
Writing references looks easy to write but actually, it is difficult for writing it perfectly. I still do not understand the correct way of writing references for websites and academic journal papers. I don't understand the differences between these two of the way for writing references. Also, many people think writing all of the references is exhausting. For people like this, this app will be a very convenient app. However, I think I won't use that much because I don't write many references yet, so maybe, it will be easier for me to type all of it in my own hands.
The interesting thing Mr. Paterson talked to us is, is the reason the BBC does not write the name of the person who wrote the article. The reason was if people research the name of the journalist, people can know the bias in the article. However, I think it is impossible to write an article without any bias, so it will be better for people researching the person and recognize the bias.
Also, we got introduced an app called 1Password. It was the app to memory all of the passwords for you in the online. However, I thought this app is meaningless because as people write the password on the app, maybe, the owner of the app can know about your password. Even though the owner says that they are not able to see the password, there is no evidence to believe the app. I think it is inconvenient a little, but it is better to make a notebook to write the password in it. It is not always good to depend on high-tech.
In today's class, I had a chance to think about high-tech and low-tech. I thought it is important to use convenient high-tech, but also essential not to depend too much on high-tech, and also accept low-tech.

Today was the first class this year, 2020. We were told to write a brochure for my self, by changing some parts of the brochure we wrote for the group. It was not that hard because we only had to change a little bit.
Also, the day before this day, I made the google slide better. It took a lot of time and it was hard but I had a good experience using a computer for a long time.
