Searching and Researching

Google has been around for quite a few years now, but it can sometimes be hard to sort through the millions and millions of search results they give you. Well, lucky for you, I have a few tips to help. The first and most important tip I can give you is to be specific! Use those quotation marks to provide exact phrasing for google to find or that filetype shortcut to find PDFs or whatever file your subject requires. Also, take your time when searching. Sure you procrastinated and waited until the night before, but what good will it do you to accidentally use that wikipedia article your professor specifically told you not to? Comb through those sources, make sure they are credible and actually pertain to your class and you’ll grade will thank you. Also, use the advanced search tool and seek help from the library. They have lots of books and cool information that could really help you out. Do these things, and you’ll be better off in the long run and write a beautiful paper worthy of an A.
