Reliable Internet Information Sources *Help PLease*
Hi,
I asked my Psych if she could set me some homework. She has done. I wont tell you what it is but basically its a psychology question based upon Carl Jung.
Now ive never used the web before for serious research and i know alot of stuff out there is less than reliable so i was wondering if there were any reliable sources or search engines i could use for the best results. Basically non-flakey sites and write-ups by pocket books docs and loonies.
I know lots about Jung. Did it on my psychotherapy training, and also personal reading related to my own therapy.
You can always run any links that you find by me [pm them to me], and I can check them. I have a pretty good idea of what's authentic and reliable.
Anything that is hosted on a university site should be OK. Anything published in Nature, New Scientist, Focus, any other science-y mag can be acceptable. Even newspapers or things like The Economist, or the like. Journals and books are the main source but you'd need access to an academic library and/or Athens for that. Google Books sometimes has chapters of books online which can be quite useful.
Thank you all and thanks Katie thats really kind of you.
I just ordered Memories, Dreams, Reflections from Amazon. Was only £6. So i can get it from the horses mouth so -to -speak.
Heh, its stupid really. Its a simple task but already im panicing and anxious about it. Feel i should be doing a doctorate on it or something. I know that sounds stupid but well nevermind.....
Its also interesting that she set me this specific task too. I feel there is a meaning to it. Perhaps i think too much. Infact i DO think too much.
i'd definitely recommend journals if you can get a hold of any free ones.
try www.sciencedirect.com if you know anyone with an athens log in (most science courses will provide their students with one). Actuallly chels might have one. i'm not sure if that site gives you free access to some journals though.
i just tried my old log in details but alas they had expired!
heh, im told i have a gift............yet i sit and read and i cant concentrate, i cant remember and i dont understand half of all the words im reading. I hate my own stupidity. Always hated reading. They used to laugh at me in class when i had to read aloud. *sigh*
Good luck!
Try writing some notes about it, about the main points, or even the words you have trouble with. Writing it tends to let the brain sort things out, allows you time to think about it properly, and allows you to remember things a bit more.
(You shouldn't copy things directly from the book - someone I know did that and failed her course because of it!)
