1.Review: Unit 2

Topic: Processing and producing academic information-finding sources

What I have learned about the topic?

I have learned that after my initial ideas and questioning of an assignment topic, I need to find out available information about that topic. It is also important to remember if you use more types of sources the information will be more inclusive and comprehensive on the topic. I have also learned about different types of sources. The things that you have to consider in choosing relevant sources.

What I did or did not enjoy about this lecture?

What I have enjoyed in this lecture is how the three steps that explains and identifies differences between the types of sources. I enjoyed the part that explains that in academic writing you should use preferably sources like(books, scientific journal articles, relevant internet articles, newspaper articles, newspaper articles and interviews or observations) because it briefs students on how their academic writing should be and also how to use those sources when writing.
