LB 201 - Skills in Information Literacy (SKIL)

(3)
The SKIL course will bridge the gap between the very basic information literacy instruction students receive in AS100 level courses and the knowledge struggling student researchers need to succeed as they hunt for scholarly information and write in an academic style. Utilizing the methods of constructive feedback and step by step revision, the course will delve deeper into research methods and cover all aspects of crafting a college-level paper, from developing an academic thesis question that is actually researchable, to how to utilize various library and open Internet resources effectively and finally, how to write, and cite, a scholarly paper, from introduction to conclusion. There will also be a focus on the importance of plagiarism awareness for our students who know what plagiarism is, but not how to avoid it. This course can be utilized by advisers to bolster the confidence of students struggling with research and improve the quality of their future research endeavors.
