Students will learn the steps of The Research Process, ways in which it is the same and different between personal and academic situations, and begin to think about ways that their own research processes (both personal and academic) are good and bad.
Students will learn about the three types of information: scholarly, trade, and popular. They will begin to think about the types of information they use in their personal and academic research and why different situations call for different types of information.
Students will learn about how information is created using The Information Timeline, with a special emphasis on what that means for the various assignments they will encounter in a particular class or college in general.
Students will learn techniques for evaluating the appropriateness of a piece of information for both their personal and academic needs.
Students will take a topic they were either assigned or selected themselves and use background research to develop good research questions and search terms.
