Overall for me, the hardest thing about finding information and doing research on a topic is if the information I am receiving is factual or not. You never know if the information posted on a web page is true. For me personally, it is hard finding information directly. I have research a lot in order to find a fine answer that my teacher wants. I learned that you cannot just type a whole sentence on Google because somehow it will not lead you to a correct answer. For me, I have always typed in the important words and try different phrases on Google to find my answers. I also look at different websites to see if the information I’m receiving is correct. Another hard thing when researching on the web is work citing the web page. Some websites don’t give out direct work cited so it can be difficult for others create a correct work cited.
I took a Library Research class in a five week summer program and I have learnt about plagiarism and websites that can fool readers into thinking that facts on the sites were true. It was helpful because it was a review for students like me. The most helpful topic that I felt I could use in college was learning about plagiarism because now I have a better understanding of what plagiarism is and how I can use it to my advantage and to not plagiarize. I also learned that if students plagiarize in college, it is a very serious situation that I do not want to get stuck in.
