Hi Rod,
I assign as one of a series of homework assignments. Ultimately it is worth little
toward the final grade in the class. In a class that I did not have homework I would
make this assignment, and a few others worht part of the grade on the paper.
Something else that might help. In other classes I require a minimum number of
"quality references" for the paper. For those courses I place a statement on my
syllabus that identifies quesitonable sources and then talk about them inclass and
tell them to talk to me if they have questions. For those courses I also tell them
that I will count the number of "quality references" and reduce their grade if they do
not meet the minimum.
I hope these ideas help!
Dennis

Hey Dennis. Thanks for the great idea. How do you "require" that students
submit this list of references? Do students earn points towards their final paper by
submitting their references? Do they lose points if they do not submit their list on
time? Rod

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
Dennis

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.
