We are not integrated into a semester long class. That would be nice, but hasn't happened yet for multiple (mostly political) reasons. <BR/><BR/>We're stuck with traditional 50 minute opportunities to get our message delivered. The other challenge we have is assessing our impact on learning. We assess the 50 minute sessions themselves, but all I have is anecdotal evidence to date for what happens once they leave the library. This is the other reason I was curious about your review session.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621434585011178636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12300418.post-33501894907439910362007-04-16T09:17:00.000-05:002007-04-16T09:17:00.000-05:00Andrew,I want to move the review up to the 2nd pap...Andrew,<BR/><BR/>I want to move the review up to the 2nd paper rather than the 3rd. It should be new enough information that they have some experience with, but not fully confident in it. <BR/><BR/>The challenge of moving it up, is that it leaves a gap for the instruction session on the 3rd paper. The challenge there will be in helping others understand that it's not a bad thing if we are doing less sessions...DBQhamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136471239391337286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12300418.post-56540594346788565902007-04-15T21:29:00.000-05:002007-04-15T21:29:00.000-05:00What do you think you'll do in the Fall?

Or, are you going to do away with the review in lieu of another form of assessment?Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621434585011178636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12300418.post-63958008135347391312007-04-15T19:33:00.000-05:002007-04-15T19:33:00.000-05:00Andrew,The goal of the activity was to find and ap...Andrew,<BR/><BR/>The goal of the activity was to find and apply one quality resource for their given topic. They should, in the process show some of the concepts from the semester. The semester we did not introduce new material, but this year we shifted where we covered website evaluation, so that is new... although most students are doing it (to some degree) already.<BR/><BR/>The biggest piece for me, is that the activity is as much of a review, as it is research on how students search. The problem is that it's raised questions about how we teach whether or not we are ready to deal with them.DBQhamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136471239391337286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12300418.post-61420981564753446192007-04-14T15:15:00.000-05:002007-04-14T15:15:00.000-05:00Student feedback is always valuable and necessary ...Student feedback is always valuable and necessary in the age of assessment. What are the desired outcomes of the review? Are you hoping to see students demonstrate concepts they learned earlier in the semester? Are you introducing new information during the review? Or, only if they stumble upon it during the active learning activity?Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621434585011178636noreply@blogger.com
