"NINTH WEEK
REFLECTION"
“Tell
me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will
understand”
Week eight has finished
and we started with week 9. OMG!!! Week 9 for me was a stressful week because we
had a lot of assignments to be submitted by this Friday. Alhamdulillah I still
managed to finish all my assignments. Anyhow, during week 9 we were introduced to
Information Analysis. Information Analysis is the ability to discover and quantify
patterns in data of any kind, including numbers, symbols, text, sound and
image. The relevant techniques include statistical and data mining or machine
learning methods such as rule induction, artificial neural networks, genetic
algorithms and automated précis systems. After that, we were introduced to Evaluation
of Internet Sources. The availability and growth of the Internet offers all of
us, the opportunity to find information and data from all over the world. Internet
resources, in particular World Wide Web resources, continue to proliferate at
an astonishing rate. Some experts say that a new site is placed online every 3
seconds!!It is possible for almost anyone to place anything on the Internet.
Moreover, we studied the Criteria for Evaluating Internet Sources. There
are 7 steps to be taken when we are Evaluating Internet Sources. They are as below.
- Purpose
- Scope/Coverage/Comprehensiveness
- Authority
- Audience
- Information content
- Design and layout
- Access/Workability
Besides that, we had a
discussion. During discussion we were given by a question the question was that
what Authority is? We were discussing on this question and everyone was supposed
to answer. The discussion was immensely interesting and I have learned about
Authority that what Authority is all about.
WOW, the topic which I was waiting
for long finally has come out, Plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act of taking
another person's writing, conversation, song, or even idea and passing it off
as your own. This includes information from web pages, books, songs, television
shows, email messages, interviews, articles, artworks or any other medium. After
studying this lesson I am fully able to understand what Plagiarism is all about.
I can see most of the student they are copying their friends assignments and
the give their assignments to their lecturer.
Over all, it was an interesting week but, a bit stressful and
boring. Because, we had a lot of assignments and presentation. This was my last
week reflection that I have added to my blog. I have tried my best on my blog
and I have learned a lot of new experiences and gained a lot of knowledge. I owe
great many thanks to my lecturer that she guided me and helped me a lot during
my studies.
Sincerely,
