OPAC Search Experience

My topic for research project is sudenese in Minnesota. I am looking for general background information and what difference living in Minnesota and Sudan.I was successfully found my book on my first try.I searched for an Ebook for my topic and I found a book talks about South Sudanese Lost Boys.it hard for me to read a book from the computer screen i would rather read on print book. When I searched the word sudanese alot of titles about sudanese people came up. I think the Miller Center OPAC serach had a better options than the library. I am going to use the Miller Center because of It.

what is critical thinking?

To me critical thinking is being open minded on everything you do or hear about it especially if you don’t know if true fact or just an opinion. I have heard this term before in my high school English class, my philosophy 194 and math 193. An "experts" definition of critical thinking is, "Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/defining-critical-thinking/766. This source identifies a particular process that one must engage in to thinking critically by mentioning generated by, observation, experience, reflection, and reasoning. I think that the connection between IM 204 and critical thinking is we will be dealing a lot of research about other people and you have to use critical thinking.

what do you assume to be true about sudanese population in minnesota?

vulnerable population in Minnesota it will be Sudanese people. I don't know a lot about them but i have friends that are Sudanese. One thing i assume true about this population is there height. They are the tallest people i have ever seen. I learn this from by seeing my friends n there family. I think the most difficult challenge that i will have when i am doing research on the population of Sudanese it will be there tripe and how many language they speak because i think every tripe have there own language.
