Practicum

The Practicum is your chance to demonstrate your level of information literacy and to get some clarity about the sources you are using in your research.

I am not asking you for a summary of your research or to duplicate your work from another class (that is a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy as you know).

Rather, I want you to review the different concepts and skills discussed in class and on this site and answer the questions on the exercises below according to those concepts and skills. Then, I want you to present your answers to these exercises on a creative website.

You will work on this project step-by-step throughout the next few weeks of class. Sorry, attendance is still mandatory.

1. Journal Article Evaluation (due end of class Nov. 9 (for Wed. classes) and Nov. 10 (for Thurs. classes)
