Reading Response

So, while I was poking around my resources to find “Annoying Ways People Use Sources” by Stedman, I stumbled upon this video “Scholarly and Popular Sources.” I watched and and thought to myself, “Goodness gracious; that’s dull,” so I am assigning it to you to watch as well. Despite the fact it is not a high-octane or hysterically funny clip, it is informative and short (4min). Seeing how we are working with scholarly research, I though it would be worthwhile to throw in here. Next week, you have more control over the weekly reading.

As always go through the readings and complete the questions below. Again, please NUMBER your ANSWERS! I ask for this every week. Bundling your responses to all these questions into one larger passage often results in some of the questions going unanswered. 

Instructions:

1) Please read “Annoying Ways People Use Sources” by Stedman and watch “Scholarly and Popular Articles” from the Carnegie Vincent Library on YouTube (links available in Module 2B on Canvas).

2) Open a new document

3) Format in MLA

4) Respond to the following prompts:

1. What are 3 differences between scholarly and popular sources as defined by the video?
2. What are 4 of the annoying ways people use sources as described by Stedman? Make sure to define the “annoyances” and include “the fix” that Stedman explains.
3. In at least 200 words, explain your experiences with conducting scholarly research. Have you done it in the past? To what degree have you conducted scholarly research? How do you feel about the concept?
