ENC 1102 Research Strategies I and II

 

During the Research Strategies sessions, the library faculty will be using problem-based learning techniques to facilitate student development of research and critical thinking proficiencies. Working in randomly assigned groups, students will be presented with a specific problem that they will research together. Over the course of the two sessions, we will direct and encourage group discussion and research, using a series of progressive exercises. Students will be responsible to assist their group by completing a short, but required, research assignment to be due for the second session.
