How
to do research: Visit my page of suggested
links for computers / hardware, find a definition
at Techweb, or search How
Stuff Works. You can also check my Quick
Info Links page, or my Home Page
references.
Just make sure that whatever you research, that you:
1) try to make sense of what you are researching by analyzing
more than just one source, and by looking up tech definitions (or asking me
about one if you are really stuck).
2) keep track of the research sources that you find and cite
your sources using my format.
3) write up your research notes in your own words.
