WWW resources for the Assignment

Morning everyone! This is the quick update in the class regarding on the topic Sourcing Material. Today, I learned about how to find source material for our assignment? Basically, student used to find academic sources by searching the internet. Nowadays, internet sources can be found easily through the smartphone anytime or anywhere when we want to. But the question is, is it the sources have the credibility and can be useful as our reference in our assignment? Basically, there are three important factors that must be look before we start on our academic writing which are validity, reliability and for the last one is credibility. So all of these factors might help you to guide on writing assignment. For example, when I am doing my assignment, I will looking for information from different sources and make sure that the sources have its own copyright. 

The other factor is the URL address such as .edu (education) which is an academic website that really helps the student to access a lot of information. Besides that, the content of  sources must be suitable for the audience and do not contain any biased or prejudice statements. There are several less reliable sources such as blogs, discussion forums, social network (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram) and Yahoo Answer. For the reliable sources, we can find the journal which is provided to student and it is very easy to download it. Especially for UITM's student they can find the journal from database online that required them to log in to the system. After that, they are easy to access the journal  based on their particular topic. Therefore, it is depend on the student to find good sources for their academic writing.

Before I close up this entry,  I just wanna say, it's a MID-TERM break yoo!!! And of course,  Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Adha to all my friends especially my coursemate EDU2603A/3B. Happy holiday guyssssssss and take care yourself :)
