Research with Attitude

Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine website for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:

·         Who wrote the web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization response for the information, don’t use it.

·         What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?

·         Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?

·         What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives—like selling products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete information.

·         Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?

·         Where did the author get this information?

Using the Web Wisely

Thanks to the Web, information is easy to find. However, it’s also easy to post something online. Anyone can do it. You’ve probably used the Internet to do research for a paper, to help you decide which product to buy, or to form an opinion about current events. Looking up information online is fast and convenient. But when you do online research, it’s important to find sites  you can trust. Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased manner – they only give one side of an argument.

Improve before helping

"When an archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bulls-eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim, improve yourself."

-Gilbert Arland

To miss your targets in life or school is never the fault of your target but yours. To improve your aim is to improve yourself. Last year in Chemistry I had a target of passing the class, I failed with a 33% fail.
I faulted myself for this and sought to improve myself and in doing so I reached a record high 97% high. A comeback, intervention, label as you please it's simply improvement. Everybody is able to do this improve little by little daily.
