Reflection (Practical 3)

For lesson today, Practical 3.

We learnt how to use the world-known search engine, Google. At first, i wasn't really impressed because i thought that Google is just like other engines that can only search  for your desired topic with only accurate words, but i was wrong. From this practical, i learnt how to search with keywords and variations of my topic.
I find the auto-complete search bar function is really a great help to the user too.

When participating in the discussion forum, i felt like i am just a person giving my thoughts and comment on the topic and also if possible, i will suggest some ideas. Definitely it is helpful for my research because there are also other people around the world giving feedback regarding the topic. I don't really feel anxious when talking to strangers on the net. At the very least, they don't know where i am staying at and doesn't have any of my contacts. So i think that it is rather safe.

Citations are references to sources from the net/people. It tells people whether the work is done by someone else or yourself. More of like to give recognition to the original wellsprings of those idea when using another's quotes/work/article.

I shall end here.
Seeyou Again!!!
