Summary: Research
This unit did teach me a bunch! I like the one IRIS module about how to do effective research on things the best. I love that it broke it all down for us, how to find cites, take notes, organize it all, etc. It was by far the most helpful thing yet! As far as Wikipedia goes, I cannot believe how EASY it is for people to change or alter the information in the cite! I would have thought there to be more parameters or credibility to the cite even though it is open to the public. I also liked the information on Subject Encyclopedias, it really broke down how encyclopedias work and the most efficient way to use them. I personally did not know that they could be broken down by not only letters but my subjects also! That will most definitely help me on future research papers.

Hi, Malari:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you learned about a new resource, GVRL, and see how you could use it in the future. Subject encyclopedias are a great place to start your research and get great results and possible references to continue your research with. Wikipedia can be a good place to start your research and find resources but you have to evaluate and verify each step of the way that the material is reliable and credible so it takes a bit longer.
Cheers,
Andrea
