Course Specific Research Support for BI 122: Home
Introduction to Human Anatomy & Physiology II course outcomes related to research skills:
- BI 122 CCOGResearch and critically evaluate various sources of information related to these systems in order to discern reliable scientific information from unsourced information and pseudoscience.
Communicate information related to these systems through written, verbal, or multimedia formats in order to assess current knowledge, answer investigative questions, and explore new questions for additional research.
Evaluate information on human health and medical research related to its social, environmental, and ethical implications as a responsible member of society.
Other indicators of required research or information seeking:
From the Outcome and Assessment Strategies:
"Course outcome assessment will be achieved using a combination of the following: case studies, group projects, individual projects, quizzes, tests, in class activities, laboratory activities, presentations, and journals"
Bridging competencies to support research and information seeking at this level:
- Develop a specific topic statement
- Identify synonyms to use in a search strategy
- Identify perspective and point-of-view in information sources
Corresponding research and information seeking outcomes for BI 122
- Differentiate scientific and reliable information sources from unmediated source.
- Locate reliable and relevant information sources, determining authority of information providers
- Determine context of information sources and its implications
Librarian Instructional Objectives:
1. Identify indicators of authority and reliability
2. Use library databases to locate published articles both in magazines and peer-reviewed journals
3. Develop search strategy for background information on topics as well as current information
