Center for Teaching, DuPont Library
Do any of your classes require students to conduct independent research? In this session, Sewanee research librarians Linnea Minich and Courtnay Zeitler will showcase some of the work that they have been doing over the past year to help students get the most out of the research process.
Courtnay will talk about the research journal as both an instrument of reflection and assessment scheme, the pedagogy behind it, the stories of the scholars who swear by it, and the ways in which she incorporated it into her class (LIBR 101: Introduction to Academic Research and Critical Thinking) to elicit more robust and creative interactions between her students and their multi-faceted research projects.
Linnea will talk about helping students to develop a research topic by finding a conversation in the existing literature, using online tutorials and search tools to help students navigate scholarly and popular sources.
This session is being offered as part of the Course Refresh Workshop (CReW), but we decided to open it up to all faculty so that everyone could benefit from it.
