I can't help feeling like the last quiz was a bit of a fiasco. I studied, did well on the practice quiz for LoC subject headings and DDC, and felt ready to take the real quiz. Then I got stuck on one question, which set me back, and I found myself rushing to finish the rest of the quiz. As I finished my last question, I noticed one unsaved question, so I pushed 'save' and just as I went to hit 'submit quiz' the computer announced that the time limit was up, so my quiz says it was late. I also was unable to answer one question.
This experience has definitely taught me that I will need to keep studying this material long after this class ends. Though I have gained a great deal of knowledge, I am by no means an expert on cataloging and classifying and still have much to learn. I suppose that is the way of professions, though; they require a lot of ongoing studying. I must simply do my best to become proficient in these areas and work hard to stay abreast of new developments in the field.
I wish that I could say that everything in this class had gone off without a hitch, that everything went just the way I'd planned. But few things happen exactly the way we want. Though I've hit a few bumps, I feel like the road is stretched out in front of me and I am one step closer to becoming a school librarian.
