Rod,
I also require a list of references earlier in the semester. This assignment gives me
a chance to give them individual feedback on the appropriate use of references and on
use of APA style. Before that assignment is due I schedule a class session with one of
our reference librarian. She teaches them how to use the most appropriate search
engines available on our campus and she provides a good warning about how long ILL
takes.
My best

Subject: types of references
Rod Hetzel asked:
What are your policies for the types of references
that students can use in literature reviews? Do you allow websites or other
online references?
Although I'm just a novice at teaching, I picked up an easy way to resolve
this issue from a former instructor. I simply require the students to submit hard
copies of the minimally acceptable number of articles for my approval early in the
semester. That way I can "explain" the difference between peer-reviewed journals and
the other options while the student is really interested in understanding the
difference.
