The Skunk Ape tutorial would be more appropriate for a high school student or elementary education major that is learning how to incorporate different teaching mediums into a lesson. The sad truth is that there are students that need these lessons in order to properly write an essay.
The easy tutorial made for an interesting way to learn. The videos and articles provided a nice contrast to absorb information from. However a student learns, audio, visual, hands-on, there is a method represented in this tutorial.
The four sections that it is broken up into add for a really nice easy way to learn. There isn't too much information bombarding the student at one time. The modules turn the tutorial into an easy reference guide so that at any time a student could return to the tutorial and go to the section they need help with.
Overall it is a great tutorial for those that need to learn the information. It is even a good reference tool for those looking for a refresher course. It was really the quizzes and media that kept the tutorial relevant.

I couldn’t agree with you more, this tutorial should be for high school students or even first year composition one students. The tutorial however was very interesting and informative even if we already knew the information. I agree that the videos, games, and quizzes helped make the tutorial less of a hassle and it did benefit all different types of learning abilities. The different sections of the tutorial made it seem less repetitive and ongoing, it gave you a time to stop and take a break. The tutorial is very beneficial, but I do think that it would be much more beneficial for high school students.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that this tutorial is more suited for a younger school system. But I still find it very useful because I didn't know about it.
ReplyDeleteVery well put. I agree with you opinion, but just think it is more effective for college students. In high school I didn't have to do much research for paper because they weren't that difficult that I had to search for information on datebases. I also, never once used MLA format before coming to college, so therefore I think it's not as helpful to high school students.
