Let’s imagine you are now a college instructor. Congratulations! Now it’s time to start grading papers. A student has submitted an essay which has used secondary sources but has not acknowledged the various authors.
For your initial prompt, provide an example of your feedback to the student. This feedback should fully describe the issue and explain why it is a problem.
Then, outline a plan of action for the student to follow in order to re-submit their essay. You may use bullet points to outline your plan to the student.

Unit 4 Discussion
Instructions
As you learned in the reading for Unit 4, URLs (web addresses) associated with the retrieval information while others only have a series of numbers. These numbers are known as Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). The purpose of a DOI is to clearly and directly identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the Internet.
For our discussion, this week, use the Herzing online library to conduct a search of peer-reviewed sources related to the topic you identified in the Unit 2 assignment. Find an article that includes a reference page. Examine the reference page.
Are there any sources that include a DOI?
In addition, what additional sources does the reference page lead you to that would be useful to you?
In a well-developed initial post, walk your classmates through the process as you conducted your search.
Then, explain what insights you had as you reviewed the reference page for your source.
Finally, make the case for the DOI and its ability to give the reader instant access to the exact same information you are using to inform or persuade them.

Reflection
Instructions
We have covered a lot of ground since the beginning of the course, and you have learned a great deal about the types of information available, how to discern its credibility, and how to present it to others in a way that continues the academic discussion.

Have your ideas changed since Unit 1?
In your response, reflect on how this course has affected your viewpoint on information both for future academic courses and for your professional/personal life.
Do you feel more ‘information literate?’ How will this impact the way you address knowledge questions in the future?
