| Evaluating the quality of information on the Internet is essential for dealing with the mundane, such as choosing a new computer, to the life-threatening, such as understanding a medical diagnosis. It is ironic that teachers rarely emphasize Internet skills even though students turn first to the web to complete research assignments. My project prepared guidelines regarding Internet research for students, designed multiple research exercises that incorporated Freedman Center resources, and developed a form to help evaluate the impact of these materials and activities in my Politics of Central Asia course. | |
