Chapter 6
I have always
thought that research is time consuming and more so when we don’t know where to
look for information. This chapter pointed me to things that I generally do not
consider but that could be useful for certain types of research. For example,
the social-bookmarking sites and even blogs. These sites are postings of people
that share their experiences, pictures or postings about any type of information.
I frequently use Wikipedia to understand
subjects from my textbooks because it is straight forward; it gives me pictures
and the sources are listed. Interviews are nerve breaking for me, but I think
that if I follow the steps explained by the book I will be able to understand
and more likely know what types of questions my interviewer is going to ask me.
This is turning into a very important tool for me in future interviews.
Most of the
papers I have written are usually research or experiments written in an
informal format. I took a Microbiology class in which every week there was a different
subject to write about. I was supposed to identify the publisher’s reputation,
if it was a reliable source, accuracy, knowledge and it had to be within six months
of publication. I found a website that provided me with a variety of journals
for free. I was also advised that if a journal was not free I could get it
through the campus. Journals are difficult to understand and therefore, some
simpler researches were followed by scientific experiments which helped me to
understand the subject better.
