Library Instruction 

5 December 2012  

Library Instruction course, I took it on December of 2012 at    Des Moines Area Community College. It helped me big time during my research journey in college and after transferring to the university. I would assume that this course should be available everywhere especially here in the United States and available in community colleges or even High schools based on what I heard few  years back from some students. 
Highly recomandded, because this is considered a master class through a whole semester that you can take a learn all the steps, techniques and seek well written paper for a certain research subject or even an outside project that you may do independently on your own as a personal studies that might might be developed into graduate levels, or taking those writings that includes other sources and get them published on a book, online, etc.

This book I have purchased back in 2010 from Des Moines Area Community College, Urban/bookstore because it was a recommended course for me to take over the spring semester of 2010. The good thing was sometimes I keep the books of any class I used to take for awhile because I might go back to them and use any of these books as a good, and well trusted  references if I would need to work on a certain type of school project, research papers, or just to use it as a useful examples for a particular subject that I’ve been working on later during the coming semesters in college, or it could be a personal project that I’ve been doing to keep it for my records. This book was also published in 2010 so the information is still relevant.

This book  is an introduction to Psychology and it’s about one chapter that covers different sorts of a psychological disorders which we can tell that from pages 493-500 were talking about the schizophrenia, symptoms of schizophrenia, types of schizophrenia, and the schizophrenia around the world. Most importantly the researcher would need is to look for the basic information of that type of psychological disorder how we could diagnose it, what are the side effects of this disorder, and what are the difference between the types of the schizophrenia and its recent methods of classification. Also it got to explain how most researchers believe its results from multiple biological and psychological factors- in other words the biopsychosioal model and how most biological theories of schizophrenia focuses on three main factors which are: genetics, neurotransmitters, and brain abnormalities.
