Week 2 essay
Week 2: One Tool for Digesting Scholarly Sources
Last week you identified 2 to 3 potential topics of interests related to your degree field and type. This week, you will narrow that down to only 2 potential topics (if you haven’t already). Below are tables for you to complete for each topic.
Your job this week is to find and read 3 to 5 scholarly sources for each topic. As you read the sources, fill in the related table sections below. If you find you’re having trouble completing any section of the table, remember, your faculty member is available to help!
Note. If you find this table is not user friendly and/or you go on to use this in your academic journey and the table becomes unwieldy, the Books and Resources also has a basic Excel version of this table.
