Writing 10-54 (Ruiz, Spring 2025)

Google spreadsheet

We'll do a 20-minute independent searching exercise in class, using Academic Search Complete and putting all of the search strategies we've reviewed in class into action. The spreadsheet is linked here.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wUWYjpCId9XkGW5ygZvnx0FB0mMTQfh_FJHN8qcQSIE/edit?usp=sharing

  • Enter your first name ONLY (not your full name) or a nickname in Column A.
  • Enter your research question or topic in Column B.
  • Extract keywords from your question or topic, and enter them in Column C.

We'll search Academic Search Complete next, using the keywords you've extracted and listed in Column C.

 

 

Timer: 20 minutes!

Independent Searching (20 minutes)

To Do: Before the 20 minutes are done ...

  1. Identify a resource that you may use for your research.
  2. Copy the citation in MLA style for the resource and add the citation to your row on the Google spreadsheet.

We will re-convene after 20 minutes for a discussion of your search results.
