The difference between the a primary and a secondary information is that the primary source is like for example the first book that the author make but the secondary information is like copies of the book that have been edited to make it sounds more incredible.It shows that the primary is the original but the secondary is edited.

3. Reflect on the following questions and post them on your group's blog:
a. What is the difference between Primary and Secondary types of information? When are they useful to us?
Unedited, firsthand access to words, images, or objects created by persons directly involved in an activity or event or speaking directly for a group. E.g.physical evidence or eyewitness testimony in a court trial.

a. A primary information is unedited like lab notes but secondary information is edited like the textbooks. A primary information can be interviews, speeches as these are information which are not edited and for speeches we directly hear it but A secondary information can be textbooks and newspapers as these are information which are edited and these can be based on the primary information. Primary information is most useful when we want to the exact thing that happened, for example a interview. Secondary information is most useful when we want to learn the facts, for example the textbooks.
b. A popular information inform and entertain the general public while A scholarly information gives us research and academic information. A popular information can be magazines and entertainment books because they entertain the general public while A scholarly information can be textbook on maths as they provide us with academic information.

Popular information is like facts being entertained by the group which is partly true but scholarly information is more like discussion and proven facts with the professional within this discipline subject.It is useful to us as it can show us how professional think differently from public,also giving us true 100% facts.
