i learned better ways to narrow topics and come up with a research question, GVRL has less information than Wikipedia but is a much more acceptable source, as well as not always being as general as Wikipedia.
but Wikipedia has much more articles and are easy to find , and scrolling down to the bibliography and going to those sources is also a good idea, rather than citing Wikipedia itself.
And when narrowing a topic, looking up synonyms for words helps to find articles that you may not have found with just 1 word, and taking keywords from an article you found after you narrowed the results is also helpful.
Hi, Andy;
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you gleaned a lot of important information in the IRIS readings that should help you be more successful in your research. We'll be using these techniques as we proceed and hopefully you see a benefit. Wikipedia has its uses, GVRL can be a little easier to zero in on a topic and understand what it's all about.
Cheers,
Andrea
