Information Literacy

One attribute of a self-reliant, lifelong learner is information literacy—the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information. When you are information literate, you are a critical consumer of information who knows how to access accurate and relevant information whenever you need it.

Chapter 5 of  Thriving at Trident  (p. 102; Box. 5.2) introduces a popular system for organizing and remembering effective reading strategies—the SQ3R system. SQ3R is an acronym for key steps that should be taken when reading college textbooks. Research supports the effectiveness of the SQ3R system for improving reading comprehension and exam performance. The system consists of the following five-step sequence:

1. Survey

2. Question

3. Read

4. Recite

5. Review

This system will be used in completing the Module 1 SLP assignment.
