Revisiting   Argument, Research, and Scholarly Writing

  

In the   21st Century, it is important to be able to research and make wise decisions   based on reliable information. In fact, employers have high expectations   regarding their employees’ abilities to research. As discussed in the Post   Your Introduction forum, due to the overwhelming amount of information   available researching and locating reliable sources to guide decision-making   can be very challenging. Let’s examine in this discussion the challenges of   research and how developing information literacy skills can help.

Reflect
