The Skunk Ape Tutorial is a tutorial used to help students find valuable resources in the FGCU library. During the tutorial you research information about the ape creature and along the way become more information literate. Each module is designed to help the student become more comfortable in their research abilities. The tutorial helps to better students grades and make them more confident on research assignments and papers. I’m not going to lie there wasn’t much I did not know before the Skunk Ape Tutorial, but I learned that it can get you a job at FGCU because they might ask you to research things about your job where the tutorial may come in handy with the research skills you’ve attained. Some things I did know before the tutorial is that employers may ask you to research your job before you actually get the job, journals, websites, and articles are all good forms of research material, and research is used in all facets of life even after University life.

Big Five For Life
Setting goals for oneself is essential to living a complete and happy life. In order for me to consider my life a success I must first successfully complete my degree in communications. Completing my degree is the first step to a successful life because it will open up opportunities in the future. My second goal is to obtain a well paying job. A well paying job leads to money and money leads to happiness because it will mean less financial stress on my family. One day I’d like to live a nice, lavish lifestyle where money is no object. My third goal, also in my opinion the most important goal, is to be able to provide for my family. The word “provide” is not only limited to financially, but also emotionally and spiritually. I want my family to have the best of everything and get the most that they can out of life. If I can successfully complete this goal I believe it can greatly help them to achieve their goals. My fourth goal is to have a positive impact on people’s lives everyday. I just want my positive attitude to rub off on people and cause them to have a positive attitude towards others which will create a sort of chain reaction. Last but not least, I want to be well respected. Whether it be in the workplace, classroom, or even in a supermarket, I want people to know who I am and respect me for being an enriching person throughout my life.
