Tilt: Worth It or Not?

Howard University has an online assessment system known as TILT that many English and/or Freshman Seminar professors require for their classes. TILT is a program that provides the user with advice and information on how to access legitimate sources of research for education purposes. After reading the information that is provided, the user is required to complete a series of quizzes to test their comprehension of the data just reviewed. Overall, I felt as if the material was a bit unnecessary. I mean, for those who might have never been assigned a research project before, TILT gave sound advice on how and how not to access info. However, as someone who has completed several research projects, the information was boring. I mean, I was taught how to do extensive research in high school because it was assumed that I should already know the information before I got to college. But what can I say, I guess many students who are new to college still don't know how to conduct proper research. I'm not going to say I learned nothing from the experience, however. As the saying goes, you learn something new every day. ….
