| Program: | Thanks for This Assignment! - A Research
Paper Students (Eventually) Love
Come learn about an innovative collaboration between an academic librarian and an English faculty for teaching research and writing. Alicia Ellison, Librarian, and Judith Nolasco, English Faculty, of Hillsborough Community College – Ybor City Campus, will discuss their project that encourages critical thinking, reduces plagiarism, utilizes technology, and leads students to connect academics, work, and life. This method abandons traditional research topics and takes students on a journey to their futures. Although the project was designed for Freshman English-II classes, Alicia and Judy will offer strategies for adapting this approach for research assignments in other disciplines. Sample papers, survey results, assessment data, and feedback from students and faculty will be shared. Handouts that detail the assignment, an online library research toolkit, and their own published articles on the project will be provided. Participants will have ample opportunity to ask questions about the assignment and discuss why this new approach works. |
