for the purpose of research. You’ll be able to successfully evaluate and select sources
for your research process and projects. - Build on skills learned in 101 to effectively integrate source materials into an academic argument with proper documentation
- Take ownership of your ethical position as a writer producing academic work joining into a conversation of civic and scholarly importance, and recognize the potential your writing has to contribute to these fields.
