Optional DQ – Using research to Support your Ideas
NOTE: Each week I will post “Optional DQ’s”. These are not replacements for the DQ1 or DQ2 questions you must answer each week. I post them to offer a fresh perspective on the learning objective for the week and to help you with some diverse posting options for class participation 🙂 As long as your responses are SUBTSTANTIVE, they will count toward your participation each week!
Class,
Part of information literacy is knowing how to effectively use research to support our statements and Ideas.
Before online courses, one of my college professors allowed open-book exams. His explanation was that knowing how to effectively find information in a timely fashion is a more valuable skill than memorizing facts. Supporting our ideas with documented, accurate resources will build credibility in our thoughts and ideas.
However, as we write it is essential to remember our written work should always be at least 80% original. Why would this matter?
Please answer in first person point of view!!!
