Have you wondered how you can get students more enthusiastic about doing good research? Do you find that your students are under-prepared for University research assignments? Using research on information seeking behaviors and learning science as a guide, we will discuss and demonstrate ways Libraries can support your courses by creating customized course pages, and collaborate on research assignment design.
Every course in every subject has the potential to include making. But how do you incorporate making into your curriculum in a way that enhances your teaching and your students’ learning?
