2-2 Short Responses

Module 2 Short Responses – Question 1 What types
of primary and secondary sources will you need to use to support the topic you are examining in your essay? You don't need the actual sources yet, but you should have an idea of what they might be (such as an eyewitness account of an event, for example).
Primary sources: The original writings of the academics who were proponents of using the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) as a measure of standardized inborn intelligence. Notes from political strategists using IQ or IQ adjacent language. Speeches of activists and politicians which focus on intelligence or IQ. Public opinion polls.
Secondary sources: Compiled data from academic sources, such as voting maps or maps of multiple opinion polls. Summaries of political strategy. Maps of adoption of intelligence testing, particularly compared to against maps by vote. Writings of academics who were not those who pioneered the IQ tests.
Module 2 Short Responses – Question 2 What are two or three keywords you could use to look for sources to answer this question?
Irish sandhogs New York
Module 2 Short Responses – Question 3 What subject terms can you use to continue your search?
Labor unions, Tunnels, Construction industry, Work environment, and New York (N.Y.).
Module 2 Short Responses – Question 4 When you search for "construction," you get a lot of extraneous answers. What [?]Boolean operators[/?] and corresponding search terms could you use to narrow your search?
AND to include other items that are required, OR to construct multiple queries in one search, NOT to exclude items that cannot be a part of what you are searching for. Use XOR (Exclusive OR) to search for items that contain either subject terms but never both. Use XNOR (Exclusive Not OR, rarely called XAND) to return items that either have none of the

terms or both of the terms (AND will never return a query with none
of the terms).
For example:
Hudson XNOR Sandhogs OR New York OR N.Y.
Returns only articles that have New York or N.Y. or both, with the articles either including Hudson and Sandhogs or containing neither term. The usefulness of this search when it is allowed to be correctly executed is immense, as you will get the keywords of every article that you are not interested in but are "adjacent" to your topic. This allows you to then have a more normal query which simply has NOT on whichever terms the articles that never
have Hudson and Sandhogs. It also gives you the ability to see other common threads within articles that do
include both Hudson and Sandhogs, which means you can expand your searches by adding those common threads as OR tags, casting a wider net. With both parts of this search in hand, you cast a wide net that only catches the articles you would be interested in for your topic. The difficulty only lies in the implementation of logic operators for XOR, XNOR, and NAND in the search engine you are using and how available the documentation for it is.
