After the presentation, I would like you to visit this Web site, and evaluate this source. With a partner or on your own, consider whether this source is reliable. Would you use this in a paper? What is this report missing? What makes this article sound authentic? We will reconvene in 5 minutes. Be prepared to share your reactions with the class. *****

Informal Early Feedback 4:35-4;50 (15min)
As
we are approaching mid-terms, I would like to collect some early,
informal feedback on the course from the class. Your responses will not
be graded; I am interested in getting a sense of what areas of the class
you find helpful and what areas you think could be improved, and
specifically how. Please go to the survey here. I will give you about 10 minutes to complete the survey. Thank you, in advance, for participating. I will update the class on the results/what changes are to be made in our next class. *****
