Research Log

There were a number of concepts presented this week.

1. Which did you know already?

I had previously learned about boolean operators in my communications class this past quarter. I knew also that one had to insert phrases not sentences.

b. Which were new to you?
There were a few new concepts that were not new to me but not as clear. I knew about credibility on webpages but I did not know it much in depth as now. For example I did not know all the questions that have to be asked before one relies on the webpage. Now I know that one has to evaluate the web resources and answer the questions step by step.


If you were given a research assignment and you chose the web as one strategy for your search, name three important evaluation elements you need to consider
Credibility
Context
Commercialism
