In the first portion of this assignment I read about what makes an internet site believable and factual. Many of the sites that I had looked at didn’t have solid documentation to click on. The links to the sources were almost all non existent. The two sites about aides had me thinking about who got the information and for what reason did they put it onto their site. A very skeptical fact I saw on the first site was saying that “Approximately one in four people living with HIV infection in the United States are women.” My question is, where did that statistic come from? I looked at other sites and didn’t see that HIV was specific to only women, but instead it was many people that live in the world don’t even know they have the disease. After doing more research on the page I saw information of stating why they were doing the study, and they are doing it as a charity for health departments that couldn’t make money. …show more content…
The sites didn’t pertain to what I was trying to find on the web for my topic. The pages were worth visiting, because they showed me what the different was between a reliable source, and an unreliable source. The report on the Bay of Pigs had a lousey source that took me to sign up for Aol.com. Apparently a man named Jason Berry created the site, but I wouldn’t have figured that out without having to think about it. The HIV and aides site had legitmate facts and information that I found on other websites. The sources were factual and weren’t dead. The site had been dated current June 23rd 2015 and was dated recently. The second site that I looked at I knew it was fake, because It had no link to click on the sources, and at the bottom of the page it stated that the facts were not
I wanted to take a minute to send you a summary and timeline of the events that took place on Tuesday, July 28, 2015 where voice and data services were unavailable for approximately 1 hour.
A good friend of mine had recently moved into this house in May 2015, she told me in the first day that she and her boyfriend had stopped by the house to do a walk thru before moving their thing over.(The house sat empty for a year and a half before they moved in).
After a helpful talk with my advisor, I decided that real estate would be my second preferred major if I were not to make it into the marketing program at the Terry College of Business. Although the realm of work differs in many aspects between the two, I feel that the factors of communication and benefitting the buyer still have very similar qualities. I for one have little experience working in the specified field, but am currently learning the basics in REAL 4000 and it is beginning to interest me very much so. After enrolling in the class I told my step mother, a former agent of Caldwell-Banker, that I was taking the class while applying for real estate as my second intended major. She was ecstatic, and her excitement certainly began to
First off, I have to say in my ENTIRE professional career, I've NEVER seen such a creatively powerful professional profile picture than what you are displaying! "HATS OFF TO YOU"
Before beginning of this quarter, I had no formal education on the topic of love or cinema studies which made this course seem the most intriguing. This was a completely new topic to me. Through the many assignments and group discussions, I have a much greater understanding of the world of film and understanding love in east Asian countries. With the help of my peers reviewing my assignments and providing a different perspective on my essays, I have honed my abilities in writing and thorough film analysis.
This can mean for a teacher to learn where the student(s) is coming from and then do research on that area. By doing this, it will provide some basic background information into the child’s spoken language, culture and beliefs. After the teacher knows a little more about the child, they can then make adjustments to their assessments according to the child’s language, culture and beliefs. If the teacher is still unsure, I would ask another teacher who might have had a student from the same area.
When the class was asked to read the story silently to themselves, T was only able to do this for a few minutes before his attention was focused on something else. In the book, it says, “attention is essential to the learning process” (Mcdevitt & Ormrod, 2013, p.240) T loses attention quickly when he is asked to do something on his own. When he loses attention I wonder if his learning process is being hindered because of this?
Innovation: An initiative, practice, or objective that is modern by individual or other elements of acceptance (Rogers, 2003).
There are two types of classes in high school. The first type of class is the very boring one, the one we dread going to. The second type, is the class that interests us. Mrs.Anderson’s math class belongs to the first category. Math is a great subject, but there needs to be a good teacher to make the class interesting. Mrs.Anderson is the age of my grandma and she talks as if she was dying. It is very hard to understand what she is saying because she talks so quietly and it seems that talking causes her pain. Mrs.Anderson’s teaching style is giving the students worksheets and making the students learn the material from reading the sheets. The worksheets are effortless but the tests are extremely difficult. The next test we are having is on probability, and a group of five boys
When I first learned that the second unit would be about writing in different genres I was totally confused. What did this mean? Would I be doing different writings of mystery, romance or science fiction? That was my only small narrow view of what a genre is. I have now come to learn that a genre is not only simply whether something is fiction or nonfiction but a genre is different types of writing from a recipe to a resume. I have come to learn that there are so many different types of genres all unique in their own respect and all written from a different perspective.
When evaluating the validity of a website it is important to know who published the information, the original source of the information, and if the author of the information is qualified to make such claims. Oregon community college gunman 'left behind manifesto ' does not list who wrote the article on the webpage. This means the information is not very reliable because anyone could have typed up their opinion on the event. Neither webpage lists a works cited; however, Oregon shooting: Gunman dead after college rampage contains a
Org”, which means it’s run by a non-profit group or school group (both of which have reliable information). It also has some of its sources listed at the bottom of the page. Additionally, this site is accurate because all of its information is true and doesn’t leave important points out. Also, this site is objective because it doesn’t argue one side of a debate and moderate. Finally, this site is adequately supported because the information came from credible sources that are cited on the page and is corroborated by the other sites I
This paper examines how students determine the credibility of information derived studies from World Wide Web sites, mainly Wikipedia, a web site encyclopedia. The research methods applied to define credibility, its determinants, and vested interests, contributes to the importance of establishing credibility of web site information. Two studies, with opposing variables, conducted with college enrolled students to evaluate differences in determining credibility. The participants in the study consisted of two groups of university students; one group with computer science and education background and the other, solely computer science.
The World Wide Web has made information readily available to everyone. What gauges do people use, to know if the information is credible? What basis do we use, to know if the information is correct? How do we assess the information found on web sites? What factors are considered to ensure the accuracy of the information on the web?
According to Daily Changes, 100,000 web pages are registered every single day. Of the 100,000 that were created today, how many of them can one expect to be accurate and informative? When truly performing scholarly research, how is one expected to be able to distinguish the good from the bad and the bad from the ugly? An effective information source will have proper depth, an appropriate domain name, and citations for sources.
