Textbook Information: Guess what? No textbook. :-)
Why?
This course uses digital course materials designed using Open Educational Resources (Links to an external site.) (OER), high-quality, openly licensed educational materials, rather than a traditional textbook. You can access all readings, videos, quizzes and other activities through our course site on Canvas. (http://rsccd.instructure.com (Links to an external site.))
Our course materials were created and assembled by Jaki King and Annie Knight and funded by the Achieving the Dream OER Degree Initiative. Santa Ana College is committed to student access and excellence. You will not have any additional cost for textbooks. Extra care and effort was involved to assure access to high-quality affordable materials. I am interested in your experience using these materials and welcome your feedback in an anonymous survey at the end of the course and at any time during the course of this class.
Course Objectives:
Learning how to research is a skill critical to your success in college and beyond. As you are working in all your courses, instructors expect you to be able to find relevant, current, academically respected information on subjects within the discipline you are studying. They also expect you to evaluate information and integrate it effectively into your research projects and presentations. These research skills can also be applied to other areas of your professional and personal life where you find yourself doing research. Whether you are aware of it or not, you’re constantly doing research in your own life. This class works to make you an even more proficient researcher.
Course Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate an understanding for different types of information resources available through libraries and the Internet, their use, and how they are organized
- Identify an effective research topic and research question
- Identify the type of resources which help to answer your research question or topic
- Effectively search, locate, and evaluate information resources to answer the research question/topic
