Assignments Homework_flowcharts.docx A+ (14.636 KB) Visit to Giovatto library on and homework due on Dear Students, We will not have a regular class in M-105 on 4/9/24. But you still need to come to campus, as I have arranged a library visit for you. You need to go to the front desk of the Giovatto library by 10:00 am. Please do not be late. The librarian will hand out an attendance sheet to record your presence. I have requested the librarian to show you the following: A tour of the facility itself followed by instructions on how to access the library webpage, catalog, online databases, and online searching. They will show you where to find books on technology, programming languages, and computer systems. You will find the room with newspapers and periodicals (magazines) very useful. You should aim to visit the library once a week and spend one hour per week browsing through these periodicals. You will find rooms where you can conduct group studies/discussions. Finally, you should know where the Metro Writing Studio is. This is a great spot for getting help with writing assignments. Feel free to ask the librarians any questions. They are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. I believe the FDU Library is one of the greatest assets of our university and this visit will develop an appreciation of this wonderful facility. The library visit should take about 1 hour. During the remainder of the class time, please do the following: 1) Please submit a 1 page summary of your library visit. You should include a description of items/facilities that will help you during your studies at FDU. Also, include any observations or suggestions you have for improving the library. Think of this as a field trip report. Engineers frequently write such reports when they conduct tasks like building assessments/inspections or evaluating manufacturing sites. Since I am asking you to write a 1-page report, it is due by 11:59 pm on 4//9/24. This will teach you to be diligent, efficient, and punctual with your time. 2) You should also try to start doing some research about the Volkswagen Dieselgate scandal. This will help you prepare for the mock trial we will have later in the month. Knowing the facts about the scandal will help you. Since you are already at the library, you can initiate your research there. You may seek help from the librarians if you wish. I will not be there for the library visit. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the experience. - Prof. Rao
