 * When you are researching for projects you will usually go to the internet to look up your topic. When you're on the internet make sure you find reliable websites. Although "Wikipedia" is a "Wiki" community, and may allow others to type in false information, on average wrong information is corrected within 3 minutes after being posted. If in doubt, use "Wikipedia" and cross reference it with another site, such as [|"Britannica Online"] or [|"Dictionary.com"] You can look for the last updates on the website or ways to contact the person on the website. A better way for looking for your topic is to look through an encyclopedia or other books about your topic. Looking through a book index is better then looking through a internet index because there is so much going throught the internet; in a book you can look for key subjects just on your topic. The book will be just on you topic, but the internet could be about things all over the world. **


 * Managing your time will also help with deadlines. Plan to have certain aspects (such as research, first drafts, or display effects) on time. Another key concept is: don't procrastinate. If you put something off till the end your work may be rushed or messy, and this could result in a lower grade.**
