Library Visit Debrief -- Yuri

 Firstly, I was surprised at the number of libraries in University of Otago. It is 8!! I had only ever been to the central library, and I had thought there is one library. Moreover, I learned how to search using homepage of Otago and how to use “AND”, “OR”, ”NOT”, quotation mark and truncation. Also, the home page can be used anywhere and anytime. These are very useful to research not only seminar but also other assessment or own research.

The space suits for studying, too. I’d like to visit to study. I got a lot of information this time, so I’m going to use such spaces and functions to make the next four and half months meaningful.

    Me too! I had been to only Central Library... I think Robertson Library is more calm than Central Library, so I'd like to visit to study.

    I also never knew we can use "AND","OR", and "NOT". I guess the range of information that we can search on the internet was limited, so I want to use these technique to be able to get to know more information!

    Samee, I used to go to the Central Library as the only choice but when it comes to exam season, that place is super busy and hardly to find a seat 🥲. It is nice that there are more library. Happy to see that you learnt new useful techniques for researching!

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they can learn about many fields widely. Moreover, these skills are essential to live by oneself. One of the reasons of this is that doing things by oneself c

I’m Jimmy from Taiwan. I came to New Zealand to learn English, experience different lifestyles, and try working abroad using my working holiday visa. Now I am in homestay in Green Island with the Morris family. This is my second time in New Zealand. Last time in Dunedin I just passed through this city, but now I have joined the general English course at the University of Otago. By learning in a foreign university environment, I want to improve my English level to increase the chances of future employment. By the way, It also means that I could have more time to appreciate the beauty and culture of Dunedin. So far I found there are a lot of attractive Scottish style architectures and nature sceneries, and I think the weather in Dunedin is very changable. I have already finished my Masters Degree in food science and biotechnology. My favorite subject was food chemistry, because I could understand the principles of how food changes. I like to play badminton, tennis, go mountain climbi
