Topic Discussion in a Forum

Were you impressed by google’s search functions/features? Why?

Yes, I was impressed by google's search functions and features. The advanced search provided helpful search filters to allow the user to search for detailed results with ease. User can enter and set their search preferences accordingly in order to narrow down the results. There is also the age filter where unsuitable results will not be displayed to those below the age limit.

How do you feel about participation in discussion forums? Is it helpful for your research? Do you feel anxious about talking to others you do not know?

I feel more involved when participating in the forum as I can share my opinions and view what others have to say about the topic. I have include a screenshot of a forum topic discussion above based on my research topic. As you can see in the screenshot, the contributed opinions of every individual help to give a general idea of what the topic is about and also widens my scope of knowledge based on the discussed topic.

Why must you do citation and bibliography?

Doing citation and bibliography is simply to acknowledge the source of information, the author or contributor of the respective information. Not doing so results in plagiarism, which is actually considered as stealing someone else's work, which can be a quite a serious issue.
