Unit 3: Exploring Topics

Summary:

I had never known about GVRL before, and it was a nice resource to use other than basic google strategies. I am a firm believer that if you need some basic starter information or you just need a definitionn of something, wikipedia is an amazing resource to use. However i do understand that it is not a very reliable and credible source for using information in an essay. Having GVRL at Clark is an easy way to find credited articles to use for my argumentative pieces, especially in my English classes. When I researched the basic topic "Movies", it is clear that wikipedia is more of a history lesson on the transformed movie culture over time, but on the Gale Virtual Reference Library, it gave me sub categories to look into many different subcategories of the overall theme.

  1. Hi, Brian:

    This is a thoughtful and accurate summary of the assignment but I don't see the rest of the elements, an article from GVRL and Wikipedia on your topic and the research questions on that topic. You will need your questions for this weeks assignment. If you have notes with this information, please share and I'll update your score.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
