I have Trouble any time I hear the word research . No im not afraid of research im afraid of bad research and the information that tags along with it . bad research is deeper than having a lower grade in a course bad research can result in a domino effect of bad pasted information . your bad research could result in multiple failures in scholarly aspects and in the new knowledge aspect. one example of bad research would be an Wikipedia  page on the (M.o.m.a) written by non reliable source and the information taken from there spread over as the facts when it is not always certified

Over the past few weeks in this class I have learned helpful tips and tricks when it comes to research or even regular everyday searches. In reading Badke, I have learned new techniques to better my researching needs in library databases and not just depend on Google. I was introduced to and used the EBSCO databases in previous classes, but I have learned more ways to use it to my advantage. I, however, was not aware of Google Scholar. It is useful sometimes and I say sometimes because it can be as much of a headache as the regular Google search engine is.

Who knew that one day I  wouldn’t be as dependent on my lovely Google? I rely practically everything that I do online with Google. Instead of just typing a hyperlink on the search bar, I choose to rather Google which site I am trying to go to and just click it through there. However, now that I know there are better and more reliable sources through EBSCO host, etc., my days with Google have become shortened. Now with all the techniques I’ve learned through this class and with the professors we had this week, I can find more trustworthy, reliable information without the use of Google Scholar, something that I didn’t even know about before this class. I’ll probably take on for further research papers, term papers, etc.This is the end of my monogamous relationship with Google, hello EBSCO host and Academic Search Complete. Clearly, my knowledge in researching wasn’t as good as I had hoped…
