Befitting a contemporary information gathering course, some of these materials will be provided electronically for you to access from any computer on campus or a home computer with a modem. You will collect information sources on the topic of your choice as part of your homework projects. This will help you compile an annotated list or database that hopefully will be useful for other scholars interested in your topic. This list will be annotated with explanations of how you found your information and a structured self-assessment of your learning experience. The specific details about the project, including format, percentage of grade and deadlines, will be announced later.
All projects are due at the beginning of class on the assigned date.
Late projects will be penalized 5 points for each day they are late. If it's not ready at class-time, it's already considered a day late. You will have various information gathering tasks as homework assignments or projects, all concerning a topic of your choice. Pick a topic you like so the tasks are meaningful for you. You are encouraged to do research that might be useful for another class.
