NEW: CUNY announces that students must be vaccinated to attend fall 2021 classes:
Here’s a place to share high quality information about Covid Vaccine information
1–Students may have received this email from CUNY:
https://myemail.constantcontact.com/-YOU–ARE–ELIGIBLE–.html?soid=1134130875871&aid=3uJeJvqM0HU
This poster has a lot of links (19) and a good MYTHBUSTING section near the bottom (with links).
2–Here the is NPR article we discussed Monday:
**Key Question: How should we research vaccines and safety? Can we take a page from our methods of writing a reflective annotated bibliography?
STEPS:
–questions
–read???Doctor Interview. What type of doctor? Where did they go to school. Where published?
CDC guidelines-research.–quality
FDA guideline-research–quality
New England Journal of Medicine–quality
JAMA–quality
—encyclopedias
–news sources
–videos
–blogs
–Documentaries
–Youtube video?
ME:
NYT, WPOst, NPR, Reuters, AP, Chicago Tribune, BBC,
JAMA
CDC guidelines-research
FDA guideline-research
HOW TO ESTABLISH THE IDEA OF QUALITY? SIMPLY PUT, HOW DO WE KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS LEGITIMATE, TRUSTWORTHY, AND HIGH QUALITY?
–Author? Who is this person? What is their background? Affiliation? Contact?
–References? Yes or no? How many? Traceable? Do these sources seem credible? High and low? Peer reviewed or news or opinion?
–length? Too short or very long?–writing itself? Mistakes, typos, poor wording, unprofessional or offensive words.
**UPDATE on Literary Arts Festival: The Zoom is currently full, but you can still watch on YouTube Live:
