Research Journal Part 3: Summary

I've learned from this unit how much resources we have with Clark. I never seen the GVRL and there is so much useful information there, wish I knew about it in my English classes. I never used Wikipedia for any college assignments as I know that it's not allowed in most situations, so I would often use online sources that I knew were credible such as NPR, or CNN. The database that GVRL has is really extensive though and I plan to use it for future work. I learned a lot from the lesson of how to narrow a research topic, how to narrow a topic down so there isn't to much information.

  1. Hi, Doug:

    GVRL is a great way to start exploring a topic, Wikipedia can be used that way but GVRL grounds you in the academic setting and can save a bit of time. I'm glad that IRIS and GVRL will be added to your research toolkit. The questions you created sound like good research questions.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
