Reading
How many words do I have to write for the assignments of the 1st semester?
15,000??? This looks like the words for my dissertation??? Then, I'm being
troubled with number of readings. One of the lecturer said that we should read
at least 10 articles (references) in a 3,500 word essay. So, I will have to
read about 40 articles to complete my essays! What is difficult is to properly
record, sort, and remember what I have read in the course of writing. We were
advised to learn how to use a bibliographic database the other day, and I've
fould "EndNote", which is available free of charge if we use it on the
university's computer cluster. I've once just touched it. However, it did not
seem easy to operate. It looks like MS Access. Then, I could not start using it
yet. But, I have now recognised that I must learn and use that. Otherwise, I
will waste much time in referring to articles. To me, it is curucial because it
takes time for me to read through all the relevant documents... I will not be
able to spend much time in referring back to the same documents again and
again. I will go to the computer cluster at latest by Wednesday after getting
my hair cut!!!
