W12) What is “quality” for our societies? /박채정, PARK CHAEJEONG

What is “quality” for our societies?

 Quality that can be described as "good, bad, best", etc. It generally refers to the level/evaluation of quality. And this quality changes every time. For example, while the first criterion for improving the quality of life was money, it may have changed its mind to health now.

 How can Wikipedia 'quality' be evaluated? The quality of articles written on Wikipedia can be evaluated as good and bad. Wikipedia can immediately determine the quality of an article based on whether it comes from a source or not. As neutrality and objectivity are required in the article, personal views or blog posts are not suitable as sources. This is because official sources such as bibliography and news articles are much more reliable and objective than them. This is why it is important to reveal the source when participating as an editor on Wikipedia. 

 There are occasions when you can say, 'This quality is excellent!' to anyone. In Wikipedia, the value of quality can be assessed through 'source' or through 'context'. But can we define the criteria for 'quality' accurately? Sometimes the quality is not great for someone else. Therefore, considering this, 'quality' seems to be relative. Let me give you an example. After watching a really famous director's animation, someone said, "I'm so impressed! The quality is the best!" may be praised, but another person may express regret, saying, "This time, I think the quality is a little lower than the previous work." Wouldn't this happen because each person has different ways of thinking or values, or because the criteria for evaluation are different?

 How can you rate the quality of Wikipedia? Also, what do you think about the relativity of the quality I mentioned?

    First of all, I agree with your point of view. Because "quality" itself is a conceptual word used to express one's ideas. And everyone's perception of things is different, so the judgment of "quality" is naturally different. Of a Wikipedia article, I think it must be rigorous to be called a high-quality article. The rigor of spoken and written language and the rigor of reference cases are all very important.

    I agree with you that there is no absolute good or bad. All evaluations are relative, and sometimes one thing from a different perspective leads to different results. It is difficult for everyone to judge the same thing exactly, so the quality is absolutely relative. We should usually look at problems more comprehensively.Try to understand one thing as completely as possible, which facilitates our objective evaluation of its quality.

W4: What are the pros and cons of using Naver vs Google for research purposes?

Google Scholar: In terms of academic research, Google Scholar is a web search engine that can search academic articles for free. Its source of information is also professional and rich. For example, articles from academic publishers, etc. There are also most of the published academic journals in the world. It also supports advanced search functions such as keywords, classification and filtering, and you can find the most relevant research documents in the entire academic field in a few seconds. Every search result on Google Scholar will show citations. This provides a good extended search clue, which is convenient for users to directly view related papers. As a Chinese student, even in mainland China, Google Scholar cannot directly access and use it. We will still use VPN and other methods for reference when conducting research. NAVER: And naver is more like an interactive community. There are more academic websites in Korea.  As a Chinese student, I think Naver rarely uses for acade

W2 : After watching Mitch Resnick’s TED video

 Through this video, I realized that programming education is not only as deep and professional as I know it, but also more flat and interesting. With the change of the times and the advancement of technology, the times we experience are indeed constantly changing. I believe that programming is just a way of learning like reading. It does not depend on any subjective intentions but exercises people’s logical thinking and creativity. China There is a common saying that “giving others fish is better than fishing for others.” I believe that programming does not exist as a short-lived technology, but behind it is that people need to keep learning with the times and have an open attitude. The purpose of early childhood education is different from the professional education we receive now. Early childhood education is more inclined to teach children the way of thinking, rather than the part of applying knowledge or technology in a professional subject as we are now learning. Therefore, addin

W13/After reading “Categorization”/HARI KIM

Summary) Categorization is a kind of list for dividing topics, and it helps users find information easily. All documents must be in at least one category. Therefore, categories must be well chosen. How are the numerous articles on Wikipedia categorized? First, the category should be chosen as the most helpful topic when someone reads the article. And usually an article doesn't exist in both the top and the subcategories at the same time. If there are few documents in the category you have in mind, you should check to see if they belong to a subcategory. It is also important to maintain a "neutral" perspective when categorizing. New/Interesting things I learned) I learned that usually one document does not exist in both the upper and subcategories at the same time. Before I knew this information, I had made a mistake in categorizing documents. In categorizing articles about rivers, the article was already part of a subcategory, but I have made mistakes by adding a top cate
