Blog Reflection 3

I can't believe we are almost finished!! It seems just like last week I was typing up my introduction bio. Anyhow, my opinion on research has REALLY changed. When I would search history issues or anything for that matter, I would only use search engines such as Yahoo or Google. Now that I know more about subject directories, I will definitely use those more. I saved many links to my Favorites list to use in the future. Search engines sometimes give you a bunch of junk when you need critical information. I love that statistics are available for us to see and do research on. There is so many things to learn in the world of "Research." I will definitely keep my book and notes and anything I can save from this class to help me do research for many of my courses to come. This class has really made it easier to find information on the Internet and library. I will definitely take with me the knowledge I have gained in this class to use in the future and to aid my 18 year old brother who will be entering a 4-year University this fall. I think it will make his freshman year a bit easier in regards to researching.

I guess I am not the only one. Anytime I needed an answer in the past I always used Google or Yahoo. We can now see there are far more ways to research and methods to ensure that we are indeed researching factual information. I have a 16 year old sister and now I can help her do research and aide her as well.
