M5D1: Information Literacy Requirement

Be sure to have completed Module 5.10-5.14 in the web text before you answer this discussion question.

Preparation:

You have now finished your final module for your 5 Information Literacy assignments. You have learned about the important Library resources and services provide by the Excelsior College library. You have learned how to choose a research topic and brainstorm ideas to narrow your topic down, how to search for peer reviewed sources and how to appropriately evaluate those sources. You have also learned how to develop a quality thesis statement and outline for your paper, how to cite your sources in , and finally how to avoid plagiarism. All of these were important steps as you write your final research paper for this course.

For this discussion, please present in two paragraphs, your own views on this process. What do you see is the value of the information literacy requirement for all Excelsior College students? What did you learn in these 5 assignments- what was new to you? Are you better equipped to write your final research paper after this learning? Are there areas of information literacy that you wish we had an assignment on or any new ideas for assignments that would have helped you write your final paper?

Next, read the posting of at least two other classmates and explain in your replies where you agree or respectfully disagree with their thoughts on what is helpful about learning information literacy and how these assignments helped you write your final paper.

This is a “post first” discussion forum. You must submit your initial post before you can view other students’ posts.
