UIR Reflection
After so many UIR lessons, i felt that i have gained a lot of knowledge from it and i have applied these skills in my daily life. With the help of the lecture notes and the practical sheets, I am able to complete my assignments easily.

Some of the knowledge was the use of internet tools, different types of search engines, similarity and differences of the search engines, the criteria of defining a good website, categories of internet resources, and purpose of internet resources and evaluation of internet resources.

Though UIR is a CDS subject with a total of 3CUs, I feel that it is as important as my core module. I chose UIR as my CDS because I believed that it is useful to my life. This is because in our life, we use internet almost everyday so UIR helps me to have a better understanding on using the internet for various purposes for example; business, entertainment, information etc.

I have used some of the UIR skills to do my project research. For example, in the past I tend to get my information based on one internet resource using the same search engine (Yahoo). After I was equipped with the UIR skills, I started using other search engine like Meta search engine (meta crawler) or subject directories (Galaxy) to do my research. And the outcome of my search results has increased and hence my search area has broadened. It has helped to save a lot of time in researching and also made my work more efficient.

UIR is fun and also has an enjoyable interaction with friends online. There is E-lectures, E-learning, online discussion forum, blogs and Wikis. The blog is a way of interaction, it does not use just for personal spaces however it can be use to spread information too. As for Wikis, it can use as an online discussion forum.

Lastly, I personally think that Using Internet as Research Tools (UIR) is a very meaningful and useful subject and I would recommend this CDS to my other friends. I want my friends to enjoy learning UIR, interact with one another and hopefully they learn something and apply the knowledge or skills to their daily life or even school work. =)
