The most useful thing I learned in Module 6: Searching and Researching, is the difference of Searching vs Researching. Most people think there is no difference between the two, but there is a really big difference. Research requires a critical look at quality of information you are finding rather than simply finding information that fits a particular topic. Searching is finding an answer to a research question that either has a right or wrong answer, with research having no right or wrong answer. Knowing the difference helps when it comes to writing a paper or a prompt. If you are searching for right or wrong answers, you are not researching.
An example of something from this module I already put into the practice is using bibliographic websites to help generate correct citations. In almost all of my college papers I have produced and maybe some papers way back in high school, I used EasyBib to assist me in my citations. I have not used the other websites listed in the module, but EasyBib works for any type of citation for a bibliography.
An idea from this module that I can put into practice for the future is using the scholarly searches. Ohio State has an online library that can pull up information about any subject with just a click of a button. I know friends of mine who are also students at Ohio State who use the online library on a daily basis to help with research. This will be a tool I will use in the future.
Advice I would give students is use the bibliography websites given in the module. In a research paper, citing your sources is important to show you did not just make the information up, and give the source you cited, credit for the information. These sites like EasyBib, help with the correct formatting of a bibliography, and also speed up the process of making a bibliography. These sites will correctly make the citation for you every time. I would advise using these sites.
