This week's lecture was my favorite so far. Dr. Lubach's presentation was entertaining. He was goofy which made him funny. What really stood out to me was his sense of humor, he knows that lectures can be really boring for us so he used his humor to get our attention, which is something a lot of professors don't do. His advice was inspirational and useful. I found it really interesting when he said that UCSB should be “the face of California”, meaning that there should be more diversity. I agree, UCSB is already a mini melting pot but it would help open our minds to other people if there were to be more diversity. He gave us a variety of advice from the IV party scene to academics at UCSB. He said that we should take big risks and don’t always think about your career. However, at the same play it safe when it comes to your wellbeing and think about the future but don’t pressure yourself. The library visit was very helpful for future references. I learned where I need to go and what I need to do for classes that involve research. Now I know that the library is a crucial part of research projects, essays, and projects. It was helpful having someone show you step by step what you need to do to find books, articles, and other resources before I didn’t know how to do this. Before, I didn’t know that the computers look up whatever you need to fin for you and now I know how to use the computer for help.
Hey Samantha!
ReplyDeleteI also really liked Dean Lubach's presentation. When it first began, I was not sure what to think, but I also liked the way in which he used humor to connect with us, and make the presentation much more entertaining. I also agree that UCSB should be more diverse; we need to make sure that we are representing the entire population of California, since we are a public school, and we are supposed to have a wide range of people, of all different races and backgrounds. I also found the library visit to be very informative; I too did not know how to use the library data bases, but after the session, I do.
