Critical Thinking and Information Across the Undergraduate Business Curriculum |
| |
| Abstract: | To prepare for the real world, business students need to be able to monitor, analyze and interpret date and their sources, and this may best be accomplished through the development of a cooperative assignment and workshop with the college library. Utilizing active learning techniques, the marriage of critical thinking and information retrieval in an undergraduate business program is integrated into a typically quantitative course offering. An instructional services librarian and a business faculty member collaborate to create an assignment designed to help students gain confidence in using print and automated resources and understand applications of particular business models while furthering their critical thinking abilities. This article presents a model assignment, outlines a library workshop, and offers an evaluation of the project. |
