Good Evening All!
This week in module six we talked all about writing and some tips for doing it at the college level. The most common type of writing that you will do in college is research papers.
Now, back in our elementary school days, it was Wikipedia that was our go-to tool. Little did we know, that it is, in fact, the worst possible tool to use for research. This is because it is entirely made from peer edits and outside research that doesn’t go checked.
Now, since learning this, I use either the university library to get sources from, or even google scholar.
No more can I get away with just typing in a question into google and expect a good search result of research… you have to actually try harder and filter through sources that seem suspect or unreliable. Professors don’t like to see these lazy sources in your long papers, and I know this from experience.
Overall, I think this module is really important for a lot of people because no one really knows how to research but this whole unit showed us.
Until Next Time all, and be a little more cautious with your reliable sources… save everyone the headache.
