Course Description:
Research and Technology is a one credit academic course designed to provide students with the research and information literacy skills needed to succeed in higher education: knowledge of how to effectively and efficiently conduct research; critically evaluate information and research; cite resources in various style formats and understand the nature of academic integrity. Also included will be refreshers on Power Point and Excel as needed by students. The in-class activities and assignments will explore various types of general and subject-specific reserach tools, and also allow the students opportunities to conduct research for projects they are working on for other classes.

Additionally, there will be discussions of the role of information in a societal context.
