One of the best things about this course is I actually applied what I have learned here to my actual study and assessments.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The topics were very useful in helping me learn proper citations and how to use Library Search.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It allowed me to evaluate my knowledge of referencing and citation as well as what sources to use and when.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It provided a good introduction on how to use information literacy most effectively in our studies, and how the library resources facilitate this.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The course has been developed specifically for Arts and Social Sciences students, however it will benefit all First Year Students especially those with information & digital literacy course requirements.
