Reflections on practical 3
Today, we learnt how to search information on search engines such as google effectively. This allows me to find more articles that are more relavant to the topic.
We learnt how to narrow down our search by using boolean operators like AND and OR, wildcard operators like * and N/2.This will help to reduce my search results and refine them so that only the best results would be shown from the top. With this, i made a search query out of these operators so that they would return me the best results possible.
Citation and bibliography is important as this will allow the hard work of the people who created these resources to be known. Thus, I would not be able to plagiarize and put the information as my own.
Participating in a discussion forum is quite fun as i can interact with people. However, my topic that im researching on is HIV/AIDS research and thus the people i am interacting with are quite negative in thoughts, most of them being HIV-positive. Thus, it was kind of strange talking to them as they were literally dying people.
