Essay 3 Assignments for 3/19, 3/31 & 4/2

Today, we began discussing the topic for our major research project: technology & privacy. We brainstormed in groups. On Thurs, you will receive some help on researching this topic. Our class will be held in King Library, Rm. 213 with a library expert on researching.

FIRST ASSIGNMENT:
To prepare for this session, complete the InfoPower Tutorial by 12pm on Thursday: HTTP://TUTORIALS.SJLIBRARY.ORG/TUTORIAL/INFOPOWER/INDEX.HTM
This will take approximately 2 hours, so schedule wisely. Email all of your scores to me (should be 3) for credit.

SECOND ASSIGNMENT:
Over Spring Break, you will need to begin your assessment of authoritative sources. Before you can go find your own, you will need to work on evaluating some sources. By March 31, 12pm, write a blog that evaluates at least 3 of the technology & privacy sources posted to our course wiki. Be sure to write an evaluation and not a summary! This is a moment for you to explore the veracity of the arguments in these sources.

THIRD ASSIGNMENT:
Comment on at least one of your classmate's blog posts about these sources by April 2nd, 12pm.

FOURTH ASSIGNMENT:
We need to read as much as possible about this topic. The Mauk & Metz anthology offers us entry into the topic very conveniently. Over Spring Break, read all of the articles in Mauk & Metz contained in pages 753-798. Be prepared to blog about and discuss them on Thursday, 4/2.
