This module was something I didn’t know I needed. It was over the importance of finding credible sources when researching. By far the most useful thing I learned in this module was that Ohio State has a website full of reliable databases.
It can be accessed at this link: https://library.ohio-state.edu/screens/databases.html
This will come in handy when I need sources to write a research paper with. Something I’ve already put into practice is boolean logic searches. A b0olean logic search is using a boolean command, such as “AND” or “OR” to help refine your results. They greatly help limit results and are a good way to find exactly what you’re looking for. I also have used EasyBib since high school and I still use it now as a quick way to cite. Something from this module I can put into practice is using Google Scholar. When I watched the video I saw that it is designed to find reliable sources, and there are filters such as a date filter. Some of my old essays could have been saved by this as I have a problem of using old sources. To end it off, I want to offer some advice: Try not use random websites. Find websites that are known amongst many people and reliable.
