Module 6 Lesson 6

The first bullet point on the slide show presentation basically explains all of my writing. I always try to make my papers go so fast that I don’t end up getting good quality information. I am usually not one for using textbooks as my sources, but I know they can sometimes be the most credible ones. It is really difficult to come by strong credible websites because so many different people want to put their own information in their sites.  I sometimes just get caught up in how interesting something is and do not really pay attention to the actual quality of the information. I have never looked for authors, dates,  biased opinions, etc. so now I know those are a few things to look for on a website.  I was told to never use Wikipedia as a website to get information off of, but I see that I can use it for small background information. I really like the boolean logic because it allows you to find more specific information about the topic at hand. Along with boolean logic, I really think that the advanced search will really help me out. I had no idea you could search with advanced so now I will be using that more often. Learning all of this information from this slide show is really going to help me when I am researching for my next paper.
