Student will demonstrate the ability to locate relevant resource materials available in the library or through the community college system in either electronic or print format.	Rubric: BSC2010 standardized assignment and rubric	Establish baseline scores for performance based on web based tutorial to facilitate research writing: Rubric: structure, organization, quality, amount, sources and info game for content on the standardized paper grading sheets based on research	Indicates a weakness in research based writing as evidenced in baseline scores (without info game tutorial 66.1 average grade and with it was a 89.9% average grade) Rubric performance means: Structure: 3/5 organization: 4/5 quality: 3.5/5 amount: 2.5/5 sources: 4.5/5 info game/unknown: 3.5/5	1. Adapted data collection process to increase sampling frame to BSC 2085, BSC 2086, DEP2004, ECO2013, HUM2511 Spring 2009 2. Revised standardized rubric to apply to a variety of papers to generate a more uniform application (anticipated increase in evidence usage due to this change). Spring 2009 3. Initiate a pre and post test using an online tutorial and assessment method- Summer 2009
Student will demonstrate the ability to differentiate between reliable and unreliable websites and relevant subject databases provided through the library, and utilize reliable electronic web resources to support their beliefs, position, and/or argument.
