3        3. This week there was a lot to learn, one of the things that I was able to comprehend more this                week was the three types of periodicals, I really enjoyed this lesson. The lessons provided are              always helpful, although, it can be easy to forget everything what has been instructed.                          Following this searching process step by step is beneficial and a good way to avoid making                  mistakes. I am sure that throughout the rest of the course I will improve, and in future research I          will be able to apply some of all what I have explored.
