I am not familiar with Microsoft Front Page and that made this assignment more difficult than the others. However, it was fun learning Microsoft Front Page and it is definitely something that I will use again.The most useful assignment to me was the Bibliographic Research Assignment # 3 in which we went on WorldCat and MLA in order to find sources related to a particular author and a particular piece of literature by that author. I found that assignment to be most useful because it seems that it will be most useful for me as I begin to write my major research paper for the Restoration and Eighteenth-Century Literature course. As a researcher, my strenth is my ability to read through a souce and pick out the information that is most pertinent to the topic that I am writing on for my paper. This allows me then to take that information and connect to the main ideas that I am trying to discuss in my paper. However, one of my weaknessses as a researcher is that it often takes me along time to locate the information that is relevant to the paper that I am writing.
