Group Purple's Acronym R.E.A.C.T
R - Relevant
E - Experience
A - Audience
C - Currency
T - Trustworthy
Relevant means if the information you are researching is even on topic with what your researching. For example, if you are researching something about nature then you should be on a math class website. This is important because you want your research paper to be on topic and make sense.
Experience goes with Authority and how it is important to know who ever is in control of the website, mainly the authors. You definitely want to know where your information is coming from.
Audience is who the author is "supposed" to be talking to in his/her information. You want to know who the author is talking to so that you can be aware of the potential difference it may cause in the info you are receiving.
Currency means checking if the information is up to date or not. You don't want to receive old information that has been updated.
Trustworthy is making sure your source is reliable. You really don't want to use Wikipedia as your main source.

Week 1
Well, what are the different ways you can order a book again if the book you want is not in stock at the Ingram Library? I know I can possibly reserve a book by asking a librarian. Also of the different options I have to reserve a book, which one would be more reliable, convenient and the quickest? Jessica said in class how you can get a research assistant at the library, well how do you go about asking for one, the librarian? Or is there a web page on the school's website with all of their contact information? Concerning the course, out of curiosity will our exams be online? I am ready to learn about the cool ways to research topics. I would like to be more advance with my researching and I figured this would be the right class for it!

About me
Well My name is Candace Mabry! I am a sophomore here at UWG and my major is Business Management. I am a Christian and enjoy having bible study and learning about Jesus. I work at the Recreation Center on campus and I'm also considering maybe becoming an Resident Assistant someday. I chose this class because I figured it would be useful and I needed some extra credits!
