4.     4 - Using search engines effectively

 

Referencing APA

I have learned to respect for the original source using someone else's work as my  own without properly acknowledging it is considered intellectual theft. I could understand how I must assess the quality of my research. Accurate referencing following a specific style will enable the reader to easily locate and verify my research.

Oral Communication

Communication is clearly a very important aspect of life. Part of relating to other people. People can pick up things very quickly from a person speaking to them as opposed to sitting down and reading material. I cannot behave like a robot or wear clothes that get more attention than I am talking about.

Overview of the Internet

I could understand how to conduct basic research and locate relevant Web-based and other resources, Assess and evaluate resources and make judgements and decisions on their reliability and validity.

Using search engines effectively

The Internet is clearly useful for investigating topics and finding out things. However, Internet not like a library with a classification system of resources. I could learn that to find information depends upon how well I formulate my queries. Irrelevant queries cannot generate useful results.
