Websites: Reliable or Not?

Are Websites Reliable?


When you are doing research for school, college or uni, you want to make sure that it is valid and reliable.

Above all else: You MUST be CAUTIOUS!

When selecting a website for research the two web address that you can trust without fail are .ac and .gov  You can trust these because .gov is a Government website and as such all information has been posted by the Government and is reliable and valid.
 .ac can be trusted because all websites that end in .ac are academic websites

Always check who wrote the websites no matter what the ending is by using websites such as easywhois and sitecolon

University Life

 

University Life

All my life I knew that I wanted to go to University, however I never knew what University I would end up going to. I knew that I wanted to stay in Swansea, so I made the logical choice of applying to Swansea University and Swansea Met, I also made the daring choice of applying to University of Wales Trinity Saint David Carmarthen as a last resort.
      When I applied to Swansea Uni, I applied to do Classics and Latin alongside Classics and Greek. I applied to Swansea Met to do Education Studies alsongisde UWTSD Carmarthen, however the course I applied to in Carmarthen fell through but they offered me the course Early Childhood instead.
      After recieveing acceptions from all of my choices I had to pick my firm choice and my insurance choice. For my firm choice I picked Swansea Uni Classics and Latin and for my insurance choice Swansea Met Edication Studies.
       After finding out my A Level results and not getting the grades needed for Swansea Uni, I came here to Swansea Met instead and I hope that Uni life will live up to the hype.
