I used Wikipedia a lot of times before, but it is my first time to register in and use user page. The Wiki account can help us visit friends share articles. It's pretty exciting. I learned how to edit my user page, how to citation articles and etc.There are so many different functions here. I still cannot get the hang of most of them, but I will soon enough. I do believe this course will help me a lot about researching and writing papers.

And then, use the key words to search in a suitable search engine to find the information we need. we also can try use "and" , "or" and etc. to search with 2 or more key words together to find more similar and accurate information. Before citation, we also need to make sure the source is an credible and accurate academic source.
