Phrasing and getting information
I've learned that phrasing searches makes a big difference in finding certain resources for the project. An example was when I was searching for information on Disneyland and it's annual rate of return. When I kept searching, I couldn't find anything on the topic. Then once I asked Ms.Bassette for help, she showed me that instead of searching for Disneyland, I should be searching for Disney. The reason was because Disneyland is a branch of Disney, therefore in order to find the rate of return the best way would be to find the origin of the company.

I find this post very relatable. I have tried searching for something without it coming up. Then, when I added or deleted a few words, I was able to find what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing this information though.

ReplyDeleteI also came across this problem. Then I asked my friend and she told me to search up the "dividend yield" of my company.
