Exploring the Issues

Read or watch one of the selections from under 'Learn More'. In the discussion forum for this assignment answer the following questions:

  • What selection did you choose? 
  • What was the gist or main point of the video or reading? 
  • Did you learn anything new? 

Information Types Grid

Now that we have explored some of the information types most often used by college students, it is time to put what you have learned into action. In this activity, you will be categorizing a set of sources based on the information we covered in this section.

Directions

1) Make a copy of the Information Types Grid Google doc (select "Make a Copy" in the File menu).

2) For each source, put an “X” in column corresponding to each category that the source fits into.

3) Share your completed grid with Jillian Amaral.
