...Chamerah Albright Gen 105 6 November 2013 Angela White Analyzing Internet Sources The best practices I’ve learned about using the Internet for academic purposes are checking the sources for accuracy. When researching information on the internet using a search engine such as Google, Bing, or Ask one must always check for the accuracy of the websites provided. I have learned the URL can provide information about the website. A URL that ends in edu, org, and gov are usually best to use as a source. However some of those sites can be corrupt also. I have also learned reading the about us can be helpful when wanting to know exactly what a website is about, this can also help to determine if a website is credible or not. Finally I learned to always keep in mind what I am searching for, getting side tracked can cause an oversee of important details. When given a list of sites one should examine the URL for accuracy and bookmark the good sites later reviewing them. One can tell if the information on a website is reputable and worthwhile for a research paper searching for information regarding the topic. If the website charges it’s most likely a waste of time. If the website leads one to other websites with videos and a blog the website is usually a waste of time. Examine the URL for dot gov, edu, or org can also help to eliminate some of the less useful sites. One can also find out if a website is useful or not by checking the synopsis to read what the website will be give one information...

...Solve a Problem Student Name PHL/458 Date Instructor Solve a Problem Four Stages in the Creative Process According to Ruggiero, (2009), “The creative process has four stages which are: searching for challenges, expressing the particular problem or issue, investigating the problem, and producing a variety of ideas” (p. 105). The first stage of the creative process is searching for challenges. During this stage of the process a person should become accustomed to the habit of constantly searching for a challenge. It is important to note that a person can be creative only in response to challenges that he or she perceives (p. 105). The second stage in the creative process is expressing the problem or issue. The objective of this process is to find the best expression of the problem that will provide the most helpful ideas. A common mistake made in this stage of the process is seeing the problem from only one perspective and therefore closing oneself off to other points of view (p. 106). The third stage in the creative thinking process is investigating the problem or issue. The objective of this stage is to obtain the necessary information to deal with the problem or issue. This can be done by searching experiences and observing them for information pertinent to the problem at hand. The fourth stage of the process is producing ideas....

...Christopher J Sforza Gen.105 7/9/11 Student Survival Guide This general class has got to be one of the most helpful classes that I have ever taken in any schooling that I have been in. The way the techniques are brought about make it for such a much easier way to study, or to get a good comprehension on the material. For these 9 weeks I have used the majority of these techniques for both of my classes, and I would have to say it has really helped me study, and strive for good grades. The educational resources that are offered here on the Axia website are incredible. I have never been more impressed with how easy it is to locate and access everything. I was at a state university before this online journey, and the library and resources were so much harder to use and did not provide as many resources. When having to use the audio appendixes I would download them to my computer than transfer them to my cell phone. I would be able to listen to them anywhere I was, even while I was driving with my aux hookup from my phone to the car speakers. This program give you the tools you need to succeed, you just have to be smart enough to use them and not waste them. Alone, the library has so many different tools it is hard to use them all during the course of a class. To have all this information right in front of you on one website makes it 10 times easier than having to go to your local library. I still stick to the basic knowledge I learned in high school when it comes to doing research...

Case law, on the other hand, is not based in origin by the government or legislature but evolves with new decisions made by a judge or court (Cheeseman & Goldman, 2010). * Answer Questions 1. List a statute from the case study and explain what it prohibits The statute in the case of Texas v. Johnson was Texas Penal Code section 42.09(a)(3). This statute prohibited disorderly conduct by a citizen.

Johnson", n.d.). 2. List the branch of government that created the statute The legislative branch created this particular statute. 3.

...------------------------------------------------- Study skills From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Study skills or study strategies are approaches applied to learning. They are generally critical to success in school,[1] considered essential for acquiring good grades, and useful for learning throughout one's life. There are an array of study skills, which may tackle the process of organizing and taking in new information, retaining information, or dealing with assessments. They include mnemonics, which aid the retention of lists of information, effective reading and concentration techniques,[2] as well as efficient notetaking.[3] While often left up to the student and their support network, study skills are increasingly taught in High School and at the University level. A number of books and websites are available, from works on specific techniques such as Tony Buzan's books on mind-mapping, to general guides to successful study such as those by Stella Cottrell. More broadly, any skill which boosts a person's ability to study and pass exams can be termed a study skill, and this could include time management and motivational techniques. Study Skills are discrete techniques that can be learned, usually in a short time, and applied to all or most fields of study. They must therefore be distinguished from strategies that are specific to a particular field of study e.g. music or technology, and from abilities inherent in the student, such as aspects of intelligence or learning...

...shopping but online shopping (e-shopping) tends to be dominated by male shoppers. At the same time, social networking is growing fast and is especially popular amongst young females. The purpose of this paper is to draw on prior research about why people shop in order to explore the concept of social e-shopping, based on combining e-shopping with social networking. We propose that shoppers, particularly young females, will prefer social e-shopping to traditional e-shopping. We carried out a qualitative study for our propositions with a comparison experiment, semistructured questionnaire and focus group, to compare a traditional e-shopping website with a social e-shopping one. The findings reveal that young women prefer social e-shopping sites. Both utilitarian and hedonic young adult female shoppers found social e-shopping enjoyable and useful. However, although many participants found the social e-shopping site more difficult to use, this was outweighed by their enjoyment of the site and its usefulness. The study demonstrates the potential value of the concept of social e-shopping for future research. The findings have practical implications in that social e-shopping can be a valuable strategy for e-retailers wanting to...
