RJA #15b: Reflection on What You Learned
This class was very interesting, I learned a lot on research and that there are many other search engins besides google and yahoo. I also learned about blogging and sometimes can be very helpfull and other people are out there that are interested in what you are too. Though most of what I learned came from my research paper. I learned a lot on serial killers motivies, styles and types, which is a very interesting subject to me. I am glad to have a class that would allow us to write about the things that interest us. I was also happy to have been able to share my research with the class during presintations and learning about other things as well.
