Reflection Week 9

          After the Prezi presentation that ended last week, our lecturer gave a lecture on the important styles for informative websites. Informative websites include online newspapers, journals and online magazines. The three types of informative websites are academic, scientific and technical. Miss also explained on the style in academic writing which are front matter,body,back matter.

Next, miss talked about the abstract in academic writing. An abstract should be written in a paragraph. Results can be classified into two which are qualitative and quantitative.   Quantitative contains number and statistics while qualitative presents findings and discussions about a certain topic.

Miss Amreet asked us what the differences between reference and bibliographies are. Well, sadly, none of us managed to answer this question. Finally, she told us the difference. For bibliography we do not necessarily have to cite everything but we need to cite everything for references.

Technical, academic and scientific style uses extensive explanatory footnotes. We can also use bulleted lists rather than paragraphs. This way, the reader will be able to understand what is being written better. Thus, I have learnt many new things regarding this topic. This lecture will benefit my classmates and I in the future as some of us  might need to write academic papers when furthering our studies later on.
