Mobile Apps
Two Mobile Apps that I think are useful for college students are chegg and mathway.
Chegg is like the bestfriend to all college students. They have great prices for new, old, or rental textbooks. They are also willing to match prices with competitors. This is awesome because as college students money is already tight, so this allows you to spend less on textbooks. College bookstores are normally expensive so Chegg is normally the best option. They aklso great for renting because some students might only need a certain textbook for the semester.
Mathway is a great app for students who need more help in math. Once you put in the formula it gives you step by step instructions on how to solve the problem. Some students need visual explanations and this is the perfect tool for them.
CRAAP test results – Unit 2 Assignment 2
Currency- Justfacts website was created in 1997. For the most part, this website is not regularly updated with new material. The last post was posted on January 21, 2015. It was then revised April 17, 2015. There are a couple of recent revisions to posts, but not a lot of new posts. Most of the post are dated from 1-3 years ago. The links however were functional. I would say overall this information might be out dated.
Relevance- As far as relevance, I believe this website has appropriate information about their topics. They have information on many different topics.
Authority- James Agresti is the president and primary researcher for this site. Stephen Cardone is the chairman of the board of directors. Both of their names were listed on the site. This site also gave their credentials. The address for contacting was listed, and they also had a contact section where you can send them an email via the site. I didn’t see a list of sponsors.
Accuracy- For the most part, I would say the information is accurate. They listed that PBS, Vanderbilt University, Fox News, and others trust them as their source for reliable research.
Purpose- As stated in their mission and vision statement, the creators’ purpose is to give individuals facts that will help them make informed decisions. The website is not for stirring up trouble or selling advertisement.
Currency- Factchecks was launched in 2003. This site has recently posted blogs, therefore the information is up to date. The last blog was posted on September 11. Also, the links were functional.
Relevance- When it comes to relevance I would say that you could find apprortiate information about various topics.
Authority- On the website they have a section where all the staff members, journalist, are posted. Each has a paragraph about what they do in their field and how long they’ve been doing it. Under the contact information they mailing address, email, and numbers. This was more than justfacts gave.
Accuracy- The information seemed accurate. The website was also very professional. The posts did include links that referenced where they got their information from.
Purpose- As stated in their mission statement, their purpose is to practice good journalism and to increase the public knowledge and understanding of politics. It is not an advertising website.
Unit 2 Assignment 1 – Similarities & Differences of my search engines
While using these search engines and meta-search engines I noticed the three most popular websites to come up was Wikipedia, WebMD, and APTA (American Physical Therapy Association). This is probably because these three websites give the most insight to the field of Physical Therapy. This shows that all search engines generally pull up the same important information for the most part. One difference I noticed was that google and yahoo pulled up a lot of results based on my location. The meta-search engine WebCrawler search results were by google and yahoo. I found that really interesting. It also explained why my results on there were a mix of both results I got before. Another difference I noticed was that every search engine and meta-search engine had ads at the top except google, which is at the bottom.

How to be a successful online student
Schedule
Schedule a time to complete your online course assignments. It can be easy to forget about your online classes because you don’t have to attend a class during the week. Still give this class the same amount of attention as your other classes. Don’t fall behind work. Stick to your schedule!
Limit Distractions
Limit your distractions! Yes, while doing these assignments you will be on the internet but don’t open up unnecessary tabs. Don’t check your email, twitter timeline, or Facebook notifications. Be able to stay focus to your assignments.
Ask Questions
If you’re sitting in class and you don’t understand something or you have a question you raise your hand and ask, right? The same goes for online classes. Of course you can’t raise your hand but don’t be afraid to ask your instructor or classmates questions. Don’t assume or ignore your questions.
