Homework 1 Emira Marra

After reading chapters one and eight of William Badkes book, research strategies: Finding your way through the information fog, I began to wonder, how efficient is the information that we can easily reach nowadays? is it usable and can it be counted as accurate information. From reading the chapters it seems that it is necissary to investigate information and make sure it is comming from a viable source before we can use it as evidence to our questions or thesis. Badke explores the different ways of understanding if information is precise. In order to use information it must be relevant and reliable. In chapter 8, Badke demonstates key steps in taking a multitude of information and constructing it into smaller, useful portions such as PDF files and so on. I found this part of the text to be useful and interesting because it helps you organize your thoughts so they dont become scattered.
