SPCM200: Public Speaking

Google is great! It is arguably the best search engine available, and it's a great place to start research and get background information.

However, Google isn't the best place to go for academic research. You will find a lot of irrelevant and misleading results. Use library databases to find scholarly articles as your final sources!

Always think critically about your results. Don't just automatically trust the information you find!
