For several years I have taught to undergraduate students of
Che 396 which is described as a capstone chemical engineering laboratory
course. I really have to cover a lot of
ground in an hour and a half. I give my
standard lectures on how to find information in chemical engineering. I include discussions on Scifinder and Scopus. The bad news was that students did not ask
any questions. Does that imply they are
disinterested? The good news was nobody
walked out. The professor did not want
to give an assignment, so I gave out some search questions for them to work on
during the last 20 minutes of the class.
The good news was that the students were not averse to doing this task
during class hours. In this case
information literacy assessment is impossible.
