Class,

My main takeaway was within the applying the information step of this video. By asking myself those key questions and logically analyzing the collected data I can strengthen my critical thinking skills. Asking questions like "what is the bigger picture here?" or "How are my views on this subject not allowing me to be as objective as possible?" will help deliver a better outcome. Wikipedia is not a reliable source for academic purposes because anyone can add to information to wikipedia pages. The information can be full of bias and not fact based. You can even encounter scam pages with purposely false information. Although wikipedia often times has a good overview for information on their pages, it often times will point you in a direction to do your own further research.

Informational literacy is a skill you can use in every aspect of your life. As people we are constantly growing, and hopefully learning. Being able to comb through the information we come across and be able to comprehend it is invaluable. For example, something as simple as buying a new face product at target. You conduct your own research, read about the products. Figure out what is important to you that this product must have, read reviews. Learn if the products is really as 'clean' as they claim. Narrow down your choices then eventually go with the moisturizer you think is the best match. 

Post 2 from Classmate

One thing from the video that I found interesting was Step 5: Explore other viewpoints. I feel that this step will help strengthen my critical thinking skills by having me put myself in others’ mindsets. By doing this, I'm allowing myself to comprehend the information that I learn thoroughly, so when it comes to making a decision, I know I'm picking the best possible one. 

Wikipedia is not a credible source for academic purposes because there is no editor to fact check it, and anyone has access to change the information found on the site. With that being said, since anyone can add information it can be misleading and have a biased tone. Resulting in the researcher being misinformed on their desired topic. 

As for this course, the skills that I've obtained in this class will help tremendously in my personal and academic life. I feel that I have gained a more critical mindset throughout this class, asking questions and looking for things to help assess the credibility of a source. For work, I have to look into different cases. So by using the skills that I have learned here, I will ensure that any claim I pursue has a reliable source

Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality

By
1.Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Replace hardcoded strings “Zero”, “One”, “Two”, “Three” in the ArrayList based on user typed input (use Scanner or JOptionPane classes). The user will be prompted for the String to be stored in the ArrayList and then hit enter. The user will be able to continue to add items to the ArrayList until they just hit enter without typing anything. Once the user does this (hits enter without typing anything), the program will display all of the elements of the ArrayList, both the index and String values, in a table. It will do this via a single loop making use of an iterator method. 2. Starting with this provided code, add the following functionality: Use a Try/Catch block so that the exception is caught and the program exits a bit more gracefully. Save this file as TryCatch.java. (Be sure to rename the Public Class accordingly.) Starting with the provided code again (without the Try/Catch block), fix the code so that ...
