1. What was discussed today in class? We discussed the importance of databases and what databases are and we did an exercise that showed us the importance of organizing and searching databases. Along with the exercise we learned the phrase for searching databases that or is more.
2. What points were particularly important to you and why? I liked learning how to search the database and it was important to me because if I ever need research for a paper or assignment I have a good source of information that is easier to access than rummaging through google searches for hours looking for credible sources.
3. How can you use the techniques discussed in class today? Well the or is more and using and correctly in searches can will help me narrow down my searches more in the database and allow me to get the information I need more efficiently.
4.What ideas and thoughts do you have about this search strategy? Well I think this was very necessary information to help us with college papers and research, and I am glad I am able to navigate a database with more ease than if I hadn’t had this lesson.
And I apologize for being so late, it simply slipped my mind. I take full responsibility, and I am not saying your class is not important to me, I just got caught up in studying for my statistics midterm next Tuesday, since it is my first real college midterm, that it slipped my mind. I am sincerely sorry and I do not expect any you to go easy on me for this momentary lapse of reason.

I'm glad you spoke about the issue of "noise" in google - that's what all those non-useful entries are called. It's one of the down sides of search engines on the web. We'll look at databases in greater detail this week.
As for being late, I understand. Part of going to college is learning to manage your time and workload that you're probably not used to yet. It takes a while.
That doesn't change the fact that you're late and I'm deducting a point for that (.5 points for each late day), but if you complete the rest of your work on time and well, I don't think it should have too much impact on your final grade.
