LAS I 170

Introduction to Library Research

 

Research getting on your nerves? Have a term paper to do this semester?

This 8-week 1-credit class will take you through each step in the process of writing a term paper:
choosing a topic, locating information in a variety of sources,
organizing the information, and creating the bibliography.

Students will be able to:
write a defendable thesis statement
identify, evaluate, and select academically appropriate print and electronic resources
develop a research topic and construct an effective search strategy
synthesize information from different sources to create a rough draft
correctly identify parts of a citation
create a bibliography in a recognized style
Sparticipate in the research process up to the point of writing a finished paper

 

If you have a paper due in another class, it is recommended you use that topic
as you research and locate information during this class.
