The essay was intended to discuss how beneficial the Internet is for students on master’s degree
programme by weighing the advantages and disadvantages of using Internet resources. Although
I quite agree that Internet resources have advantages on selecting topics, referring to electronic
materials, collecting data and developing academic interest, I have to admit that inefficiency in
looking for resources, difficulty in evaluation resources and inappropriate use of resources would
turn the whole thing upside down. In the essay, cases from selfexperiences are included, as to give
some indications on an efficient and proper use of Internet resources. However, fewer new ideas
are given on discussing the disadvantages especially on plagiarism due to limited study on this
aspect. Last but not least, the Internet is just a format of resource. There is no right or wrong with
the resource, but it matters how you do with the resource. Using properly, there will be a lot of
convenience for our research and study.
