INTRODUCTION
For the purpose of writing an academic report, it is important to learn several aspects that
is beneficial and completes the report properly. It is an important aspect for the student to learn
several things for writing the report. They need to understand the different sources of academy
that is how they can use learning materials while they learn in their higher education. Moreover,
it is also important to understand the reliability and relevance of the source used for making the
report so that student can get marks properly and favorably. In the report, two reading strategies
will be identified such as scanning or skimming (Kim and Olson, 2020). It will also cover three
different note taking methods that can be used by the student while learning skills or knowledge.
TASK
Appropriate key information sources.
In academic studies, there is a requirement to access different information sources and
collect information to improve knowledge, understanding and build opinions about diverse topics
and subjects. There are different information sources that student can use for their studies and
these can be:
 Libraries: It is a great source of broad range of information and publications. As well as
a book selection, libraries will keep magazines, journals, newspapers and many more.
They may also have solutions to access electronic reading materials. Libraries can be
found in any place and student can found it in their college which has more specialized
books and reading material which is related to their subject. It will be a great source for
me to gain knowledge for the assignment of Unit 6. I can find library in my college as
well. Or, my tutors will help me out and recommend libraries where I can find books to
access knowledge.
 Electronic resources: E-resources may involve anything from audio, video, blogs,
websites to books and electronic journals. Several information sources are available on
the internet which are free to access but may also require payment so that student can use
them properly (Perez, Gregory and Baker, 2022). If student access these kind of resources
for their subjects and courses through the course provider or college, they may find that
student can have free access to such kind of journals and books. In order to complete the
Unit 6, I will ask my tutors or classmates which bloggers or videos I can watch to learn
concepts.
Evaluation of sources of information
It has been evaluated that libraries provide the history and are safer place to access
knowledge, while one drawback is that it has fixed hours to gain knowledge. In electronic
resources, it helps in getting independent learning, whereas it increases distance in social
interaction. Therefore, I will try to use electronic resources for unit 6 as I will able to gain
knowledge anytime and find more choices to learn.
