Dr. Lubach's lecture was amazing, I think what made it so awesome was that he made connections with his audience, and was very passionate about his subjects. The connections with the audience that he made were from his own life or from the lives of others that he had encountered. He used great sensory detail, not so much that we fell asleep but enough that it kept us interested. Dr. Lubach is a great orator and is very good at bringing out sensory details for example when he was talking about the rocket launch " the windows shutter" and then with the imagery of "the rocket arching away", both things that you can easily visualize. Another thing that I noticed is he didn't use a high level of diction making it easy to understand.
The Library field trip this week was full of great information. It filled in the gaps that were left by the librarians presentation (i.e : how to get through the tabs and get to the library resources.) It was interesting to see how many steps it took to access some of the information that the library has subscriptions to. I learned that you can go and sort through things according to department and visit each librarians page and see their specialties and what pages you can visit relating to each dept. and that you can search things by key words.

Hey Alexander! I think that is great that you liked Dr. Lubach's presentation. I really enjoyed it as well, if you can check out my post and read what I have to say about it. As for him talking about the rocket launch, I thought that was really neat. I actually checked it out after class. I didn't see the actual rocket but I saw the the white trail (condensation trail) it left behind. I also saw the live coverage of the launch.
ReplyDeleteNow for the library web page presentation, that is really cool that you liked it. Personally, I thought most of the info just went over my head. It must have been because I was tired. Since I did not get much of the info I hope you do not mind that I kept you as a reference in case I ever need help in the future. Well, best of luck to you and I hope you are having a great time!
Heyya Alex,
ReplyDeleteTruthfully, I had forgotten what Dr.Lubach's presentation was about until I read your post. The rocket launch triggered my memories, and they came flooding back. I completely agree with what you're saying! Everything he mentioned he seemed to truly believe and was able to relate to us students with a great sense of humor. He was so interesting to listening, and was, to be completely honest, one of the first speakers that I didn't struggle to stay awake.

I'm glad it reminded you of his great lecture
