Today we crowdsourced evaluation criteria and came up with currency, relevance, and accuracy as 3 important criteria we’ll use in the evaluation activity in class on April 13. We also reviewed the annota
ted bibliography assignment. Thanks to Steeve for showing us how the References feature in MS Word.
The blog post that would normally be due today (Monday, March 30) at 10 a.m. is due by Tuesday, March 31 at 10 a.m. Please write one research journal blog post in response to this prompt:
Do a search on your research topic in at least one internet search engine and one library database. What words or phrases did you use to search? What are the similarities and differences between the results of your two searches?
On Wednesday, we’ll visit the Mapping Brooklyn exhibition at BRIC at 647 Fulton Street, about a 10 minute walk from here. We will meet at 9:55 at the Jay Street entrance of the college and walk over together. Please let me know if you will be coming on your own so I know not to wait. We will finish by 11 a.m. so you’ll be on time for your 11:30 classes. I will distribute guidelines for the research paper outline and draft on Wednesday.
Tomorrow you’ll get an email from me with your midterm grade.
Please note there is a NEW DUE DATE for the annotated bibliography: you may hand it in as an email attachment to me by 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 2.
Questions about upcoming assigments, our schedule, or anything else? Please ask…
