ENG Outcome #4

Conduct research in literary and cultural studies

  • Use bibliographic tools to find source material
  • Employ appropriate critical approaches in their research
  • Contribute to scholarly conversations about literary and cultural texts and phenomena
  • Incorporate and document source material using MLA style
  • Communicate in accordance with standards of academic integrity

This LO asks students to be able to find and use appropriate research methods along with standards to communicate not only effectively but within the expectations of the assignment and university policy. The assignment I have identified as correlating to this LO is the library assignment from Literary Theory and Criticism.

The assignment first asked students to use the UNE library services to explore how different search inputs yield various source results. Then, analyzing the different five different sources that came from different results for their content and overarching theme/argument. The annotated bibliography also corresponds with being able to use correct MLA style citations.
