This course will unlock the mysteries of academic literature research, for a term paper or a dissertation literature review. It covers not only "consuming" research (how to identify, find, and evaluate other scholars' writings) but also "producing" research (strategies for getting yown work published). These skills will be grounded in discussions of labyrinth learning, learning styles, and other pedagogic theories, with discursions into using technology efficiently, recent politics and economics of the information industry and intellectual property, and strategies for academic success.
