Practical 3 Reflections

Were you impressed by google’s search functions/features? Why?

I was more impressed with Google Scholar than Google because the former has more strength as compared with the latter. Even with half of the keywords in summaries of results(versus two third of Google results), relevance to the issue produced by Google Scholar is more focused.


How do you feel about participation in discussion forum? Is it helpful for your research? Do you feel anxious about talking to others you do not know?


I feel more involved in the issue or topic I chose because I can share my opinions and also understand further the people experiencing or had experienced childhood traumas. I had captured the print snapshot of the discussion. As long as I know that the people in the discussion forum are contributing substantial views, I don’t think I have to worry what they might comment on my views.


Why must you do citation and bibliography?

Most importantly, the two processes avoid plagiarism. Stealing someone else’s work is a serious crime and some of us are still ignorant about the seriousness of this issue.

In addition, they are an important feature in any research work.

Besides, acknowledging the source of information is simply the right thing to do.
