ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERS
Throughout your program, you will build and refine your research skills. At the master’s level, it will not be enough to simply state your opinion in your writing. Faculty will expect that you support the claims and arguments you make with quality, scholarly sources.
As you reflected on in your Unit 1 discussion, you are already coming into your master’s or graduate certificate program with skills and strengths. As part of this assignment, you will assess your research and information literacy skills and identify both strengths and areas for growth. You will have an opportunity to review resources recommended specifically for you based upon your assessment results, and will then reflect on what you’ve learned from reviewing those resources.

Assessing Research Skills Scoring Guide
Due Date: End of Unit 1. Percentage of Course Grade: 25%.
| ACTIVITY | WEIGHTING |
| Identify information or strategies related to library research that you can apply in your coursework. | 25% |
| Describe how you can use your research and information literacy strengths in your coursework. | 25% |
| Explain why scholarly sources should be used to support your viewpoints in your coursework. | 25% |
| Submit your completed Information Skills Reflection Worksheet as an attachment to the assignment. You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. |
