Writing Program Learning Outcomes Outcome 2: Critical Thinking and Reading Resulting in Writing. As they undertake scholarly inquiry and produce their own arguments, students summarize, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate the ideas of others. Outcome 3: Writing as Process. Students understand and practice writing as a process, recursively implementing strategies of research, drafting, revision, editing, and reflection.

What Does the Literature Say? “In my seminar, we're talking about scholars who study Neanderthals & my professor keeps saying it’s important to look at their methods & the conclusions they draw, but I have such a hard time not believing what they are saying is 100% accurate, I mean why would it have been published, I mean why do they have a PhD?” Project Information Literacy – Study of Freshmen Students

The Literature Continued… The Citation Project: –Regardless of the length of the source from which the student cites, 46% (885) of all of the citations are to the first page of the source; –an additional 23% (443) are to the second page. –A total of 77% of all of the citations are to the first three pages of the source, regardless of whether the source is three pages or 400+ pages.

The Truth About Google… Students see “website, website, website.” We see “government document, book, blog post, scholarly article, commercial website….”

ENG 101 Quiz Article 1: 56% correct (a news article from the journal Nature) Article 2: 22% correct (book review published in a scholarly journal in Proquest database) Article 3: 19% correct (peer- reviewed article published in an open-access journal) Article 4: 84% correct (scholarly article from JSTOR database) Article 5: 16% correct (newspaper article from Toronto Star in EBSCO database)

What Does It All Mean? We need to make visible the constructions, assumptions and values of this new cultural space – the academy. –Anne-Marie Deitering, Professor for Undergraduate Learning Initiatives at Oregon State University Libraries As freshmen, students do not yet know the academy and need to take it one step at a time. Staging assignments can help.
