Don Lubach's presentation was not my favorite of all the speaker's presentations we have had, but nonetheless it was interesting. I guess you don't really think about who is responsible for all the fun freshman activities we've been having and that we will have this upcoming year, so when he said that was his job I was a bit surprised. I appreciate the thought and effort that goes into making my first year of college the best it can be. I also thought it was quirky and interesting when he discussed Reddit, the "social networking site for nerds". I also appreciated the refresher of the steps of critical thinking: understanding the data, distinguishing opinions from facts, analyzing sources for validity and accuracy, and exploring alternative explanations. I will try and apply these steps in my future classes, for example Sociology.
Unfortunately most of the material covered during our library visit was review for me because I'm taking the intro to library research freshman seminar. The note about finding last minute resources for papers was helpful (thanks for the question, Zack!). I am glad I took the course and that you scheduled the visit because I think it's super important to know your way around the library, especially if you are going into research at UCSB.
I included a picture of cereal today, because I'm starting to eat it more and more as I like DLG food less and less...
