Using Resources to Promote Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is an integral part of any educational program
At UC, we encourage and provide applicable resources for the promotion of critical thinking
In order to properly research and complete course papers, proper resources must be utilized
Researching Using the Critical Questions
When using research resources, it is imperative to review the six critical questions and implement that data into your writings.
Proper Resources for Research
When asked to completed a research paper in the UC School for Computer and Information Sciences, you must use scholarly, peer-reviewed articles.
A peer-reviewed article is one that has “been evaluated by several researchers or subject specialist in the academic community prior to accepting it for publication” and is “also known as scholarly or refereed.”
Proper Resources for Research
Examples of sites with peer-reviewed resources
UC Library Site
EBSCOhost
JSTOR
Google Scholar
Examples of sites with unacceptable resources
PC Magazine
Wikipedia
Proper Format is Important
All papers written for courses within the School for Computer and Information Sciences must follow the American Psychological Association (APA) writing style.
University Resources
The UC Library provides a myriad of online resources to assist students with proper research
Resources referring to Information Security can be found inside the UC Library site

| Project overview | Effectively and insightfully develops a set of testable, supportable and impactful study hypotheses. | Develops a set of testable and supportable hypotheses. | Hypotheses are not testable or justifiable. | |
| Justification for hypotheses | The introduction section provides a cogent overview of conceptual and theoretical issues related to the study hypotheses. Demonstrates outstanding critical thinking. | The introduction section provides a logical overview of conceptual and theoretical issues related to the study hypotheses. Demonstrates competent critical thinking. | Very little support for the conceptual and theoretical relevant to the study hypotheses was provided. Provides little evidence of sound critical thinking. | |
| Supporting evidence | Provides clearly appropriate evidence to support position | Provides adequate evidence to support position | Provides little or no evidence to support position | |
| Review of relevant research | Sophisticated integration, synthesis, and critique of literature from related fields. Places work within larger context. | Provides a meaningful summary of the literature. Shows understanding of relevant literature | Provides little or no relevant scholarship. | |
| Maintains purpose/focus | The project is well organized and has a tight and cohesive focus that is integrated throughout the document | The project has an organizational structure and the focus is clear throughout. | The document lacks focus or contains major drifts in focus | |
| Methodology Sample Procedures Measures Data analytic plan | Identifies appropriate methodologies and research techniques (e.g., justifies the sample, procedures, and measures). Data analytic plan is suitable to test study hypotheses. Provides appropriate justification for controls. Project is feasible | Identifies appropriate methodologies and research techniques but some details are missing or vague. | The methodologies described are either not suited or poorly suited to test hypotheses. The methodology is under-developed and/or is not feasible. | |
| Grammar, clarity, and organization | The manuscript is well written and ideas are well developed and explained. Sentences and paragraphs are grammatically correct.
