Module 6: Searching and Researching

Hey, what’s up guys?

After reviewing module six over writing and researching in college, I found the most useful thing I learned was about Boolean operators. Boolean operators can produce more relevant results when searching online for resources. In a CSE class I took in the spring, we had Boolean functions that consisted of “and” or “or” functions so it is similar to that but only with research. A specific thing I already use from this module is creating an outline for both my research and writing. When I research, I create an outline of questions that I would like to find answers to. When creating an outline for my writing, I like to structure my paper by what questions will get answered and in which order. This overall helps with organization and assuring that I include all parts required for the paper I am writing.  In the future however, I would love to start using Google Scholar to search for articles for a research paper. Advice I would have for you guys is to definitely take your time when creating an outline or researching for a paper. It is the foundation for a good paper which can go a long way!!
