Voices of your Seniors
“It was only in CM3291 that I realised the library has online resources that are available for the students. Prior to CM3291, I only thought that the library is a place to study or to find textbook. My experience in the library has thus been great.
The library has provided me with lots of assistance and guidance on Web of Science, Mendeley and Scifinder. These resources had help me greatly in which I scored an A for my final year project as well as being put on the dean's list for AY2018/2019 Semester 1.
I would like to thank the library for providing these resources because students like myself have benefited from using it. Lastly, I would like to encourage the current undergraduate that it does not take long to complete the degree as time will pass by
eventually; focus on the entire learning process which will us ready for the work force!”
