Shawnay freeman Week 6 Assignment 2

Hello the weeks are just flying by:) I hope everyone has enjoyed this class as much as I have. Well in the beginning it was a struggle at least that's what I thought it was going to be but I survived:) This weeks research was pretty easy and I was very comfortable this week. I believe this weeks lecture about plagiarism, student conduct, and academic integrity was very beneficial and will benefit me better in the future, with future papers. It will also help me to write my papers in my own words and to give recognition to others I quote from. To me, cheating is never an option. I believe when you cheat you cheat your self and you are not benefiting in the end. I believe in doing research in this class has prepared me for other classes who require researching. When I first started this class I was nervous and very skeptical of the work that was required.  This is my first time taking a class were you have to research different search engines. The only search engine I am familiar with is Google. Blogging oh my god that was scary just hearing I have to blog. I am know more comfortable with researching and blogging. Doing my research search this week was pretty easy and I was very comfortable with looking up articles that were published in Open Access Journals. When going to http;//oajse.com this website was simple took me straight to article on my topic. There were a lot more then I thought but I skimmed through the articles and found an article about "Associative learning in ADHD expression under methylphenidate." This article gave me more insist on children who are diagnosed with ADHD and different studies that are done on these children.When trying to research the other website www.doaj.org this site was not so user friendly. This site required a user name and password. So I just stuck with www.oajse.com. This researching is getting more and more comfortable as the week pass. This is a very informative class.

  1. Hi Shawnay!
    This was also the first time I have used such a variety of search engines. At first I felt it was intimidating, but now I feel it makes research faster and provides more accurate information. Like you, I was dreading the blogging portion of the class. Once I started though, I realized it was much easier than anticipated and kinda fun! Have a fabulous week!
