The assignment involves scaffolding: topic proposal, annotated bibliography, proposal, final paper, and oral presentation. This assignment has been successfully used at a community college and results in projects that are suitable for professional presentation or could be used as graduate school application writing samples. The assignment focuses as much on library and writing instruction as it does on the research methods process. }, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Medley-Rath, Stephanie and Rudibaugh, Mike}, year={2014}, month={Sep.} }
