Think of this as coaching on how to meet this requirement. If you need for me to talk with you about this, just ask.
For your source of facts, use only sources your boss (or professor)
accepts as reliable. — For example, unless your boss tells you “Google this
for me and copy anything you like
from the Internet,” don’t. |
Read the right stuff—the right time and the right place and the
right person or type of persons--for the question:
·
If I
did not specify pages to read with
the quiz question or with an essay question, use your index at the back of
the book to locate the content. ·
If you
still cannot find the pages, ask for
help. (Distance learning classes also have ways to ask questions in the
Discussion tool.)
·
Do not tell yourself the fib that
you are just checking the Internet to make something clearer to yourself. ·
Do not let bad data in a good mind—that
is what you are doing to yourself. Read to understand (to figure out, not just repeat
mindlessly) the evidence that the author is providing you:
·
If you
remember something being true, do not
use it until you carefully verify it in the required source. ·
If you
cannot find it to verify it, ask me for help in finding it or do not say it.
·
You
are not summarizing or
paraphrasing a section of words. ·
Instead,
you are figuring things out so you
can briefly answer a question in a common sense way. Caution: Just
because some fact is in that
section of words does not mean it
belongs in your answer. |
