Dr. Shevaun Watson and the Information Cycle

Staying Afloat: Teaching Research When Students are Drowning in a Sea of Information

The UWL Department of English and Murphy Library present two workshops by Dr. Shevaun Watson for faculty and students on the information cycle and the importance of learning to navigate the world of information today. 

Faculty Workshop
Staying Afloat: Teaching Research When Students are Drowning in a Sea of Information
When: October 30th from 4-5 p.m.
Where: Murphy 150

Teaching research skills has never been so important or challenging. The abundance of information, ease of access, and speed of circulation all, ironically, make it much harder for students to understand and work with the information they do find. This workshop will orient instructors to these challenges, and provide new concepts and strategies for teaching research processes in their courses.
