4.1.
Thanks to these courses and this Major Learning Outcome I was really able to conduct my research and finish my capstone. I never would have been able to do my research if we hadn’t gone over what databases would best fit my capstone topic and how to get to them. The formatting issues that a paper like this was also a big part that this outcome helped with. Learning about a browser plugin that archives our resources and puts them in the proper citation for us was definitely a big help.
4.2./4.3.
The different online dictionaries and online resources that help with learning Japanese are quite great. With these I was able to read the kanji in the articles I had found, or even in what I had to use to properly write my own capstone research paper. Then the fact that technology really can't be escaped from in this day and age shows how important this section is. I have done countless PowerPoints and papers on the computer that it really isn't possible to do any sort of school work without technology. The most helpful part of technology that was utilized in my capstone (other than the internet itself) would be Google Forms, since with that I was able to do my survey and send it out to the participants in much less time than it would have had I used paper surveys.
