The class for the week was significantly fielded around more open-ended. After reviewing and discussing Nick’s advice and progress made through the resources provided and how the library system worked, we started with discussions about how to make the Annotated Bibliography. We evaluated the goals of the library resources and certain takeaways.

Interestingly of note, by looking up more parallel terms to the specifics, you might be able to narrow down resources to that which you might be pursuing. At a certain point, we exchanged annotated bibliographies with partners and evaluated them, seeking similarities, and differences, which led to raised questions of discussion such as pertaining to formatting. We discussed more takeaways, such as the Rhetorical Triangle, the use of formatting, among other resources.

We also discussed scholars and their very nature and definition which varies and is much broader. Some shared their experiences, such as Wesley, who told us about his experiences back home. Professor Dolson went on to explain certain components of “scholarly” experiences, such as tenure, and the effort it takes. Professor Dolson also talks about her own experiences, as well as the weight and value of volunteering and some of the things that occur in line with the Bonners Program and Center for Civic Engagement.
