We live in the information age, and we are inundated with information on a daily basis. With so much information coming at us so fast, how do we know what’s true? How do we know which information is real? How can we fact-check what we read and see?
In this class, you will explore the answers to these questions by learning information literacy skills. You will learn how to evaluate the information you see on the Internet as well as academic information. You will also learn how to access credible sources of information and share that information with others.
You will learn about different types of information sources, how to develop an academic research question, and how to find scholarly sources on that topic. The course concludes with modules about formally presenting your research topic, citing it properly, and ensuring academic integrity by avoiding plagiarism.
