★ practical 3
basically, class today was competitive indeed. we have learnt how to compare and analysis the
effectiveness of search facilities. we were asked to try the google search and scholar google search to search
for our topic discussion. in addition, my topic was to discuss the impact of alcoholism on youths.
Having that, we have to compare each components and how it brings usefulness to us.
in conclusion, i had found out that scholar google search load much faster compared to google search.
However, the amount of search results in google search is more than what the scholar google search provides.
It is because they might narrow down the websites that exactly suits the search.
other than that, scholar google search functions a bit different from google search.
for example, scholar google search provides key authors right at the below for inner of searches.
But google search provides websites that is linked to your keywords.
actually there are so much more to say.
in fact, today we have to start with our dicussion forum online on our topic.
at first, i did send and did receive replys on my thread.
when i came back home, they said my account was banned due to some reasons.
therefore, i have to search for other forums.
afterall, i find that forums is not really a useful site.
if no one is going to reply you, meaning no answers.
unlike website search, you got your answers straight away. forums may seem interesting as you will be talking to people all over the whole.
However, i dislike forums.
you might spend days without for answers. As for citation that we have learnt in lecture 2, we going to use in every work we have done. this is to ensure that we acknowledge the author. there are lots more to learn from!
