Course Description

In this course we will explore issues in research and documentation for text (in print and online), images, sound, and multimedia. You will investigate where information comes from and how it is organized in both traditional and emerging media. We will examine the ethics of information use and determine how to critically evaluate sources. Throughout the course, you will create and present research and documentation projects using traditional and emerging media and technologies. We will be using the Sackler’s family wealth from the sale of OxyContin and their philanthropy to the art world as a model for employing research and documentation skills. You should expect to spend 4-6 hours outside of class time preparing for class each week. Learning Outcomes

Mid-Term Self Evaluation Due Oct 26

Compose an email to me (nprince@citytech.cuny.edu) with answers to each of the following questions. No need to use an attachment, just write and cut and paste your answers directly into the email. You are welcome to approach this self-evaluation either as a series of answers to questions or as a less formal letter to me about the course.

1. Evaluate your work on the blog. What aspects of your work are the strongest? What could have used more work? How has your thinking evolved from one week to the next? Feel free to use the posted rubric to assess your own work.
2. How would you characterize your involvement in discussions so far? What are your strengths and weaknesses in this regard?
3. Have you completed all assigned work for the course (Worksheets, Blog entries /comments, Topic proposal, Annotated Bibliography)?
4. What letter grade would you give yourself for the first half of the course and why? Consider preparedness, the strength of your written work, your participation in discussion, and your goals for the semester.
5. How is the course meeting your personal learning goals?
6. (Optional): What questions do you have for me at this point? About the subjects of the class? About your work/ progress this semester? Are there any aspects of your work that you would particularly like feedback on?

Self- Evaluation Due Dec 16

Compose an email to me (nprince@citytech.cuny.edu) with answers to each of the following questions. No need to use an attachment, just write and cut and paste your answers directly into the email. The questions are less prescriptive than on the mid-term self-evaluation, in order to give you an opportunity to reflect on the course in a way that feels appropriate to you.

Write  short evaluation of your performance in this class (250-500 words), addressing the following questions: How many blog entries/comments did you produce? Were you prepared for each class week? Did you do all the required readings and worksheets? How would you characterize your overall effort, interest, and commitment to the class? Did your engagement increase or decrease as the semester went  along? How did you meet the goals for this course?What letter grade would you give yourself for this class and why? Consider preparedness for class, the strength of your written work and other assignments, and your participation in discussions.

Netiquette” is the portmanteau for “network etiquette”, or the do’s and don’ts of online communication. The ground rules to observe when on online are:

• respecting the right of each person to disagree with others;
• responding honestly but thoughtfully and respectfully, using language that others will not consider foul or abusive;
• always signing your name to any contribution you choose to make;
• respecting your own privacy and the privacy of others by not revealing information you deem private and that you feel might embarrass you or others;
• being constructive in your responses to others in the class;
• being prepared to clarify statements that might be misunderstood or misinterpreted by others.
• honoring their right to their opinions

One good way to avoid problems is to reread your postings before sending them. Something written in haste may not say what you really think, after the heat of the moment has passed.

A Special Note About Anger…

• Do not send messages that you have written when you are angry. You will almost always be sorry because anger almost always inspires anger in others.
• In the online world, angry messages are known as “flaming” and are considered bad behavior.
• Do not send messages that are written all in uppercase; this is the visual equivalent of SHOUTING. It is considered aggressive, and in the online world, it is considered bad behavior. If you ever feel like shouting a message, take a deep breath and wait until you have calmed down before responding. Then, respond in a calm and factual manner.
