Hinweis der Redaktion
- This is mile 42 of an 8 hour ultramarathon
- We analyzed the results for undergraduate and graduate student for two semesters: Fall 2011 and Spring 2012. The total number of students who took the tests were 111 undergraduate and 29 graduates.
- Students already had a good idea of their obligations to cite sources and attribute them properly. The change in the number who use print resources was insignificant. In working with students personally, I was discouraged by the number who shy away from using print books, though that was encouraged in class. There was a small increase in the number who asked their instructor or another student what they would use, more prevalent among the undergraduate group.
- There were two other sections of Management 3500 taught in Fall and Spring, the undergraduate students. They did not take the pre and post test, but they were free to ask questions and come for consultation. The total number of those students for both semesters was 142. So, about half of them asked for help of some kind from me. I don’t know how many took advantage of the general reference desk service.
