Library Visit Debrif -- Misaki

 

The most surprising thing that there are 9 libraries in Otago university. I usually utilize Central library and do assignments using the comfortable sofa and private spaces after school. Before I listen to Amanda’s instruction, I just only knew two libraries. For me I’ve never borrowed books in NZ, but every Otago uni student can borrow 100 books for 3month at a time per person. I’m really interested in searching technique kind of like adding AND, OR, NOT to help get more specific information. I learned quotation marks and truncation from my university in Japan. They are useful if I don’t know exactly the wards. For the group seminar, I make use of library services and mix and match data of my introduced issue, gambling.

    I also think "AND", "OR" and "NOT" are very useful!

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
