HELLO AND ASSALAMUAILIKUM.. :-)

29/January/2013

SESSION 1

Hello everybody..For week 2 we learnt about sources.This time I learnt more about appropriate tools and search strategies to find information.Before this I think I already learnt about sources but in my language,bahasa melayu..Beside that,I learnt this topic in history subject..By the way I want say that I really like this topic..Oppzz!!sorry I,m nagging to much.. :-0 ..Let's me review and explain back about this topic..SOURCES..There have 3 type of sources.It was primary,secondary and tertiary.

first,primary source.....

Contemporary Accounts of an event written by the person who witnessed or experienced it.    

• Original Documents– not about another document or account
• Published works - as long as they are written soon after the fact and not as historical accounts 

A primary source is an original object or document, first-hand information.It is material written or produced in the time period that you may be investigating.Beside that,primary sources enable the researcher to get as close as possible to what actually happened during an historical event or time period.   

There a lot of example of primary sources:

diary

manuscript

letters

journal

speech and etc...

What I understand about first sources is it from first hand written.So all the information is really original and true from the person..That no copying,editing or pasting...ORIGINAL source...

SESSION 2

A secondary source is something written about a primary source or we can said the the material had been rewrite and edit by the second person..It something true or vice verse....

Secondary sources are written "after the fact"  that is, at a later date.Usually the author of a secondary source will have studied the primary sources of an historical period or event and will then interpret the "evidence" found in these sources.what I learnt is secondary sources as second-hand information. Interpret primary sources - at least one step removed from the event or phenomenon under review.Examination of studies that other researchers have made of a subject

Second Hand - express the experiences and opinions of others...

There a lot of example of secondary sources:

BIOGRAPHY
Write about another person's life

history book

encyclopedia

For the secondary sources we rewrite back the information from the primary sources.that what I understand about this second source..then,we continue to the next sources that might be confusing to a lot of people including me.. ;p

Newspaper and Magazine articles can be a primary or secondary sources.why?? I will give you one scene..For example if the article was written at the time something happened, then it is a primary source.  

Example of primary and secondary sources :

newspapers

magazines

This tertiary sources it is a collection of primary and secondary sources..Includes most types of references..

The example of tertiary sources :

bibliography

directories

guide to literature

Now I can differentiated the three sources.It is primary,secondary and tertiary sources.
