Writing the Information Superhighway

Part IV: Using the Internet to Write in the Disciplines (3/16-4/18)

The Internet is more than just a way of communicating with people; it is also a way of collecting information from all over the world. Students who know how to use the vast resources of the Internet for their own learning and research will have a unique tool to help them become independent learners. During this part of the course, we will use the resources of the Internet to write research papers using on-line sources exclusively.
