Today we discussed the mechanics of online searching, including advanced search techniques, Search Engine Optimization, and how search engines work. Slides from today are available here.
On Thursday 3/14 we will discuss the research process, including needs assessment, preliminary strategies, and topic development. Please read chapter 2, “Taking Charge,” from the Badke textbook. Your blogging assignment is to comment on at least one blog post written by a classmate (1 comment of at least 100 words, or 2 comments that total 100 words). The draft of the research topic proposal is due at the beginning of class on Thursday, either handed in on paper or emailed to me as an attachment. Any questions about this assignment? Please get in touch!
