Hello everyone, I am Matthew Chung and this is my third year
in York University. I came into research without really knowing anything. I was
following a sheet telling me what courses to take in order to complete my
Professional Writing program. But simply going after the first class, I can see
where I can benefit from this course. I can see that the resources given and
learned from this course can help me write future projects, research papers and
verify information.
I do enjoy writing
but my passions really go with Metal music and animals. I know, odd
combination. Though writing is fun, relaxing and a great way to express oneself,
I have found that the writing itself has become synonymous with schooling. This
takes the enjoyment out of it. I can no longer write without some sort of
deadline or else I come up with no ideas. It’s a shame but that’s what
schooling has done to me. I find random facts and care tips on animals to
interest me even though these facts are pure science based and seem more
scholarly than a poem I write in my free time. My mind is strange. Sometimes
animal facts lead to other interests like aquatic botany. My fish-keeping hobby
has introduced me to botany, well at least aquatic botany.
That is besides the point. Back to the main issue at hand, I
have never really listened to podcasts and have never even heard of RefWorks or
Zotero. The most research I have done is through either Google, Web of Science,
or Wikipedia. the Web of Science was a must for a Biology course I took and
failed out of interest. I feel excited for making a podcast though. I have never
done this sort of thing and never really knew this side of the world existed. I
have heard of famous people doing radio podcasts which just end up being them
talking. I always assumed podcasts were simply audio snippets of famous people
being interviewed. I guess I'm looking in the wrong places.
I have looked over all the topics and podcast location and I
have found that though the science, grammar, and advertising podcasts seem
interesting. Interesting but not what I am looking for. I have found some
podcasts on Metal music but it seems more like just radio shows. Not very
informative. Well, I hope you all have a
rocking time here and learn a lot.
