To do list. Here's a copy of the "to do list" I sent to the group on 11/18 via
the Yahoo groupware. [I've edited it for clarity.]
1. Sources: [You] need to make progress in getting and reading sources. You need to go beyond internet sources and delve into peer-reviewed sources. (Note: Journals articles downloaded from
journal and some database sources are peer-reviewed.) Also, move beyond general sources like
Wikepedia. Encyclopedias will take you only so far. Progress needs to be made
now -- it can take several days to several weeks to get sources from off campus (via Link+ and interlibrary loan). Remember that we are a seminar course and this places
the burden of responsibility on the student to make progress on their own. I'm here to
[move things along].
2. Topic details: Do not forget to relate your topic to the [life
science and pubic health] curricular items introduced during the first half of the semester. Use
vocabulary from the first half of the semester. Use epidemiologic and public health concepts from the first half of the semester. Use information from the (8-week!) reading assignment. Do not forget to use your text as a source. Sometimes the best sources are sitting right in front of you. You
[should] incorporate relevant pages from the text (if any) into your report . .
.
3. Referencing: References should be "spot on." I am no longer going to accept
incorrect citations and references. Use your OWL guide or the APA manual. No guessing. No kidding.
