Practical 3










Q: Were you impressed by Google’s search functions/features? Why?

A: Before when i used Google search functions for the first time, I was actually using yahoo search for researching or browsing through other stuff. I was aware that Google was getting popular, but i didn't want to shift to Google because i find that yahoo was better at that time. But since when i tried Google search, i was impressed by the numerous search results that it gave. Compared to yahoo, Google had a huge results that return compare to yahoo. But also giving a downside of unrelated topics which yahoo doesn't really does that. But for me, i like such functions because i like to sidetrack to take a look at those unrelated topics that the result shows.


Q: How do you feel about participation in discussion forum? Is it helpful for your research? Do you feel anxious about talking to others you do not know?

A: To me, I never liked typing in a discussion forum. It is because i know that I'm a introvert and thus i never really like this sort of stuff. Whether is it helpful for me in a research, i prefer to search through resources on the net then to type. And do i feel anxious? Hnmnm...i would put it in a way more towards scared because anxious is mixed with excitement and fear.

Q: Why must you do citation and bibliography?

A: In order to prove that you have done your research and proves that you're not copying off from someone's work. which is called plagiarism.
