In this unit, I learned quite a bit on the best ways to find and research topics. Most of the ideas in this unit were almost common sense, at least to someone who has already taken English 102. I have learned to always make sure if I am using a source, it is credible, and citable. I have also learned that I don’t only have to search for the general topic, subtopics and related articles help to narrow or expand the search topic. This unit has given me more insight on searching for a topic and exploring the deep web, as well as how spiders work and what we are limited to.

Hi, Kendra:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that much of this week was review, hopefully, there was a bit more added that will help in the future. The deep web is always more reliable if a bit more challenging to access but usually worth the effort. This is especially true when you are starting your research. Wikipedia can give you a big overview but GVRL can help you narrow down and understand what specifically about your topic is interesting to you.
Cheers,
Andrea
