College students aren’t good at using Google

Sarah Kessler covers a study on students poor research habits.

“I don’t really know what there is to use,” said one first year accounting major who participated in the study. “I know there are books but I don’t really know how to find them. Really the only thing I know how to do is go to Google and type in what I’m looking for.”

A first year math student offered an alternate explanation: “I’m lazy and I use the Internet.”

I don’t know where to begin my comment on this research study.
