BLOG # 6

Some time I do feel very upset and frustrated regarding the homework assignments and project that pertaining to LIB204 class. Most of all I enjoy reading my classmates responds to my blogs and they really give me a good feedback to my blogs.   Having learning different resources in the past weeks, I feel that using Google research is not a reliable source or can be trustworthy.  It can be overwhelm and crazy sometime because I keep learning new things each week. This week homework is kind of overwhelmed because I have to do more research then I usual.  Last week assignment Google Finance was very difficult to me because I don’t have the knowledge of finances.  Searching for annual income and other stuff, I was lost and just keep on clicking different links to find the information I was searching for.  By taking this class, I have learn different resource for my research .

Blog Reflection # 5

If I was to use Google to search for statistics or country profile. I don’t think I can found any resources we have used.  When you use Google to search for topics, it brings up a lot of results and you have to narrow it down. Although for me, I just pick the first result that sound interesting. I feel that some student used internet to do a research because it fast and quick and we don’t have time to sit and read through all article. We sometime don’t seem to care if the source is reliable or not as long we get the answered we need. Majority of the source provide different answered.   Information is everywhere on the Internet, existing in large quantities and continuously being created and revised. This information exists in a large variety of kinds (facts, opinions, stories, interpretations, and statistics) and is created for many purposes (to inform, to persuade, to sell, to present a viewpoint, and to create or change an attitude or belief). For each of these various kinds and purposes, information exists on many levels of quality and reliability. For the past few week of our discussion, we have talk about evaluating resources. I Google search on Evaluating Internet Research Sources and it is from http://www.virtualsalt.com/evalu8it.htm. They were small advertising in the middle of the page and bottom of the page.
