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 trust.
Many websites claim to have the facts, but are full of errors. Others present information in a biased way – they only give one side of the argument. How can you tell reliable source from an unreliable one?

Also, it is critical that you post online only that which is decent and appropriate, never anything pornographic, vulgar, indecent, out of taste, untruthful, or obscene. Post those things that will make a good name for you and your organization, that will promote goodwill and be of benefit to the world.

Student Success Statement

“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 you aim, improve yourself.”

Gilbert Arland

Reflection: Well yes it is your fault because technically yes you did so something wrong but you should see it so badly, you made a mistake whom cares? You need to brush it off and start again. Don’t let a failure stop you from doing something but if that something is wrong well re-think it. Begin doing something you want to be proud of doing achieve greater things than people think you can. Be right, and do right.

Question
As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·      Turn the title, headings and subheadings into questions. 

·      Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions can help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read
Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations – these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

In college, you’ll be required to do lots of reading. You’ll often have to complete reading assignments in several different books for several different courses at the same time.

SQR3 helps make reading and studying purposeful and effective, so that you use your time most efficiently. Here’s how this strategy works.

Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one last chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

·      Read the title, heading and subheadings.

·      Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·      Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

·      Read captions.

·      Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.
