Last Wednesday was my second class with Dr.Krish. At the beginning of the class Dr.Krish asked us to read Chapter 2 : Sourcing Material in her own written book (its so cool my lecturer has her own book :)). She taught us about the evaluation of source material. Sourcing material could be interpret from various instruments which are :
- The Internet
- e-Journals
- Search engines
- Group discussion forums
- Online database journals
For the Online Database Journals, Dr.Krish showed us how to find the journals through ezaccess.library.uitm.edu.my UiTM had spend a lot of money for us as their students to obtain the online database journals for our studies. We should appreciate that one :) Dr.Krish had taught us how to confirm the journals are informative and useful for us to carry out our research. So, the confirmation of useful journals start with
- Checking the URL --- .gov , .edu , .com can be trusted to be referred for
- The author --- check the specialist ( Dr , Prof etc ) , the affiliated ( university or organization )
- Date --- to check whether it is outdated or not
- References
- Prejudices
That's all we learnt for our last class before we have our Eid Adha and midsemester break :)
Happy Eid Adha and Midsemester Holidays everyone !
