Thing 34


In my early high school years I didn't like it when teachers had to question my findings from the interent. They did this because they knew the correct answer, and I used a false due to the fact that I didn't know any better. I was reading a self help book once, and it said that people believe your advice more when they hear you got it from someone else. The main way for students to find a a website creditable is to keep doing backup research until they find a close definite answer. Of course there is some form of bias, and with answers, facts, and theories found on the interent, students will develop their own biases, but the more you do to backup research on your findings, the better of with credibility you'll be. Bottom line: don't go off of one research article, see where those articles got there data from, and build off that.
