Teachers and professors think the Web is great to a certain point though. Teachers have noticed students are carried away by the Web because they are focusing less on reading. Carr agrees, “…. They don’t necessarily read a page from left to right and from top to bottom. They might instead skip around, scanning for pertinent information of interest… I can’t get my students to read whole books anymore…” (318).
His primary arguments seemed to be examples of his own difficulties. He states “Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy…That’s rarely the case anymore.” He continues to write of how his mind starts to wander after a few pages, and he looks for something else to do; reading has become a struggle. Carr says the culprit is the Internet itself, basing his accusation on how in today’s society we can obtain information after just a few minutes on the Net. The media today has started to give us information in as limited amount of words they can allow, so we as users can skim the information we desire then move onto the next sliver of info. He believes our minds have been altered to expect all information the way the Net hands it out: “in a swiftly stream of moving particles,” as he put it.
Students do not realize that plagiarizing someone else’s work is actually stealing. The educational system does not teach this to students. The educational system should teach that you have to cite an author even if you just take their idea and do not use their exact words. The online companies that generate essays for students should be outlawed. This is making it where students that have a lot of money can easily get by with actually learning how to write correctly.
Most people find reading books easier so don’t some people like me because I prefer researching on the internet to searching for stuff in the library. Some people will support Carr by saying that the internet really makes us dumber but I’m on the opposite side because I defiantly think it makes as smarter especially with this technology that keeps improving as years come. All these things we have today and are able to access to will not be available without the internet because people or researchers wouldn’t have been able to get accurate information about what they were looking
All you need to do is fill out a request form and will receive the link to your source by searching through whatever is in the OSU collection. In the Article Express, there is another request form to search for materials that are not in the OSU collection. That is another great resource to use, since instead of being limited to what is available in OSU, you will have access to a worldwide database to find your sources. Visiting an OSU regional campus library would be a great resource to use since you will have access to the one that is most efficient for you and they will have librarians to assist you in whatever information you are looking for. Also, some regional libraries will have the specific information you are looking for compared to the other ones.
The research paper and its effectiveness at measuring a student's performance has become a debate within the educational community. Critics of the form say that in our age of technology the internet has made sources too readily available and therefore the essay type is obsolete. Yet, there are professors that would disagree and state they are encouraging students to think unconventionally. With good evidence on both sides of the argument it is hard to decide if this is an effective means of evaluation. There are more effective ways of assessing knowledge such as other types of essays and oral presentations.
Reading Journal-Hal And Me The passage 'Hal and Me' talks about the impacts that network has on human beings. Nicholas Carr mentions his troubles to focus reading long paragraphs due to his habits of absorbing short and quick information from websites. He thinks it's the internet which cause people's incapableness to concentrated on reading passages. He cited a lot of examples and his own self-experiences to illustrated his points. First, he mentions some advantages of net, such as convenience, interest, and conciseness.
I chose this essay to develop an argumental opposing view point, because I feel that the content of this essays is not right, well I feel differently about the view point of the matter after reading this essay, which described the authors bad ordeal with Facebook and personal dislike, Facebook which is an internet network connect, that offers people around the world privilege to connect to each other sociably. Was relevant in my life if not the authors, I feel that the new social network has brought me a lot of comfort and entertainment, as a student while studying at school. Well the authors comments referred to a dislike of this service and an envision of his privacy, and that this program has no real justification for being in existence. I would personally argue this point of view and let it be known that, trying to put down people's new ideas and jesters of extended communication, was offensive and a real let down. And when someone has a real point to stop people connecting with each other for social welfare and communications’, let me know and I will give
Some editors through ignorance, and bad research can and do introduce errors in “fact” or “interpretation.” Often professor Wilson “refers” students to Wikipedia that well written and well sourced, but what’s the point of using an article if you have to filter through it just to check its legitimacy. Even though Wilson makes a valid point on how Wikipedia could improve its information it will take a while to convince people that Wikipedia has become a legit scholarly source. Both professors also agree that it’s a good place to get information but Waters feels that Wikipedia should be strictly limited to finding a topic or a source to start the research process but should not be used for further research. Water proposed a policy to the history department that it quickly adopted: “(1) Students are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide, and they cannot point to Wikipedia or any similar source that may appear in the future to escape consequences of errors. (2) Wikipedia is not an acceptable citation, even though it may lead one to a citable
