Wondering about the best way to teach students to do scholarly research in the age of Wikipedia? This workshop will examine some of the common road blocks that the Google generation encounters when they are faced with writing assignments based on their own research. We'll consider creative ways to draw on students' digital strengths, while also helping students gain a rhetorical understanding of the purpose for using sources. To help students become better academic writers with this research, we'll discuss ways of sequencing research instruction with writing assignments.
All WAC workshops are open to faculty and teaching assistants who are interested in integrating writing and speaking into their subjects.
