Day 4 Journal

As test is coming soon, the Lecturer emphasize on the up coming test, Lecture 1 - 5. Not only to remember what are the internet resources, But also know how to distinguish them.

As practical 3 is coming to an end, the lecturer also emphasize on doing well on this practical. Because the marks carries for this practical is 30 percent and consider the first part of my portfolio is complete. This practical will be send for the lecturer for review next week. So that the lecturer can check whether are you on the right track and there is time for us to touch up.

Tomorrow is learn about meta search engine, and i am looking forward to it. Today i am doing a comparison of Google and Google Scholar. Using Boolean and wild card will be something like this on my research. (impact OR effect*) AND (youths OR teens*) AND (drugs abuse* OR mishandle pills)

Practical 3 Activity 4

Actually, I am not that impress on Google features as i am using this search engine for many years. Features like blogs, maps, books, and video or image are the most common features. But the caches and similar pages are the most important functions as i can find the words or pages easily.And these functions can prove that whether the link provided is up to date. I am only totally impress by the Google Scholar where i can learn full text research without going to the library to look for those research. What i am totally impress is the Boolean and the wild card that can assist me in finding research relevance to my topic.

Below is the print screen of my work where i compare the 2 search engine.




By participation in the forum, people will know that you are trying to give answers to questions, or finding answers to questions. These are the people who participate in the forum and that goes to me. Because sometimes, there are experts who like to share their experience on drugs abuse and tell the world in the forum how important or dangerous drugs is. While others who like to know more about individual drugs, or their own experiences can put up a question in the forum and ask people for help. Or even people discuss on how to prevent, how to help on a selected forum.

I feel that forum is People from worldwide discussing about the relevance topic they experience on and wants to know more. I personally do not feel anxious because when i really do not know the answer, I can post a thread in the forum hopefully people can enlighten me. The pictures below showing my first thread and a continuous thread.





Citation are very important because it is used when we are using phrases, pictures or video from a web sources. Therefore it is very important to cite and give credit to the person who provide you the source of information. Without Bibliography the source that does not belong to you is called plagiarism. This is consider taking things without others people permission also known as stealing. This can cost you your entire working life.
