Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·         Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.

·         What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·         Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·         What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives-like selling products or winning votes-that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·         Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·         Where did the author get this information?

                “Be quick, but don’t get into a hurry.”

                                 -John Wooden

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of John Wooden is that we can do things quickly but not in a hurry because quick is doing it fast and in a hurry we aren’t going to get things done well or the right way. In hurry ways we don’t know what are we are doing and to get things done we should do it correctly. For example if we are going to read a ten pages chapter we should do it comely and not in a hurry because we are not going to know what that chapter is about and we will have to reread it again.

Using the Web Wisely

Thanks to the Web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it.
You’ve probably used the Internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites you can trust
Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way- they only give one side of an argument. How can you tell a reliable source from an unreliable one? Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is descent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and you organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

“When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself.”

                                   -Gilbert Arland

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of Gilbert Arland is that is not the fault of nobody if we miss the mark. If we want to improve at our aiming we should improve within ourselves. Don’t get mad because you miss just keep trying and it will help you to aim at the mark.

Recite

At the end of each section, look up from the text and in your own words recite an answer to your question for that section. Then write down your answer. Be sure to provide examples that support it.
Now repeat the Question, Read and Recite steps for each section of the chapter. First ask a question for the next section. Then read to find the answer. Finally, recite the answer in your own words and jot it down. The written questions and answer can help you study in the future.
Review
After completing the chapter, review your notes. Identify the main points by looking for the most important idea in each section. Recite, or write, a brief summary of the assignment.
Review your study notes every week to help you remember the information. When it’s time to prepare for your tests, you’ll find you’ve created an invaluable study guide.

“The first law of success…. Is concentration; to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left.”

                         -William Matthews

Reflection:

What I think about this quote of William Matthews is that if we concentrate and not think about other things we can do a lot of things. Concentration is the #1 law of success. For example if we have an exam we should concentrate and not be looking around, staring at the window, etc.… pay attention and do your best to score high on a test or on whatever you want to score high.

Question  
As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who, and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:
     ·       Turn the title, heading or subheading into questions.

·       Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.
Read
Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pat attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.
Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs, and illustrations-these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.
