Traditional Research;

What I found interesting in the articles is that nowadays we don’t really appreciate what we have. Instead we want everything to be easy on us. Back in the days people used to struggle to find sources for their assignment and would have to go to the library and search textbooks. Where as of now we have it so easy for us to go on the Internet and find so many different sources just in minutes. 

Another thing she points out is that when students research their assignment they aren’t capable of finding correct sources, instead they use sources such Wikipedia. This is because they aren’t taught the correct way. 

The last thing I found interesting is Plagiarism is a key factor, in the article it’s stated that Wikipedia is a reliable source. Many people edit Wikipedia and put false information. Which is why we don’t get good grades on assignments when we use these types of sources.

Wikipedia Research:

What I learned is that Wikipedia makes it easier for us to understand what we’re looking for. The research is based on a summary or a review.

Wikipedia is a breakdown of different types of research, from historical research to documentary research to scientific research. 

What I found interesting is that the word research came from the Middle French which means to go seeking information.
