Burlington Free Press - 0 views

  •  
    This is very helpful in finding current events and local news. It gives great detail in everything and is updated very regularly with new articles.
  •  
    This was a very helpful site for me for my research in Global Studies. I used this site to look up current events.
  •  
    I was introduced to this site through American Studies, since it is our primary source for the History of the Day (HOTD) assignment that we do once a quarter. For HOTD, we use the e-newspaper, which simulates the experience of reading that day's paper complete with "flipping" through the international, national, and local news. I know that the Burlington Free Press is a reliable source since it is fairly well known in this state, and it has multiple reporters and editors working on every story and checking the facts to make sure that it is accurate. This source is probably a bit liberal as news sources go, since it is published in Vermont where most of the readers are democrats, but I usually feel as though I am being informed, not persuaded, when I read it. I really enjoy getting news from the BFP because the paper is small enough that you can receive information without getting overwhelmed, and it doesn't take too long to read the whole thing. Using this source in American Studies has also changed my perception of my state, since it has helped me realize that even though it is a small state, Vermont has talented editors and is able to produce a news source that is equally as informative as big-time sources like the New York Times.

Soldier's Heart: Literary Men, Literary Women, and the Great War - 0 views

  •  
    This was a work that I used for an American Studies paper. It was about how women gained power during World War One, and how they expressed that power through writing. I was able to access this article through Ms. Burdett's JSTOR account, which was a very useful website because you had access to work that wasn't published on the broader internet and you could keep it all bookmarked together. I knew this was reliable because it was associated with a college, and the author used in-text citations so I could double check her sources if I wanted to. However, it was biased because the author was writing a persuasive piece. She started the work with a debatable thesis and gave evidence throughout the article to support it. This was one of the most challenging articles I've read because it was written at a college level, but the information was at a higher level as well. The author went very in-depth, and while the sheer amount of information was sometimes hard to sort through, it gave me better details in the end. The only drawback I would tell someone else who wanted to use this source was that it was on JSTOR, so I needed Ms. Burdett's password and permission whenever I wanted to use it.

    The purpose of this website is to spread awareness and educate people on environmental issues. WWF also is an environmental conservation program that has offices all around the world. Many topics are covered on this website; for example, deforestation and the causes and impacts of this issue. I did a lot of my research for a big deforestation paper on this website. It was very efficient and useful, also containing many great articles with tons of information. This websites gives great statistics and facts, which is why I would recommend this source. I think it has really changed my thinking and understanding of the topic deforestation for the better because I am now educated on this topic as well as aware of the many impacts in can have on our earth.

Islamic Law - 0 views

  •  
    The start of the paper outlines both the preconceptions and misconceptions of the Islamic Law and why they are proven wrong. The article moves onto saying that there is no separation of church and state, proving another myth wrong, defining the elements of the Sharia Law, finally concluding with the many crimes in Islam. The source was useful in defending against the preconceptions towards Islam and helped to gather information on church and state.
