>> Today the professor walks into class with a huge stack
of handouts, and I realized here comes our research assignment.
Already? I'm not sure I even know where to start.
We have to choose a topic based on our course readings,
I have to use scholarly resources,
and hand in an annotated bibliography.
>> How am I going to find the time to get all of this done?
It takes me forever to read the material,
and I've never written a paper this long.
Wait. Didn't I see something about how
to do all of this online?
>> SPARK is organized into three main sections: getting started,
exploring, and pulling it together.
Each section contains multiple modules
that address key components of completing an assignment.
Not sure about what your instructor is asking you to do?
The module for understanding the assignment can help you figure
that out.
How about some resources to help you choose a topic,
or strategies for writing, or how about strategies
to help you read more effectively, and take notes?
There are modules for each of these topics,
and they all contain information and resources
to make the most effective use of your time.
Within each module you'll be able to track your progress,
access the menu, and easily navigate back and forth.
There are printable resources for each module,
including handy exercises, worksheets, and suggestions
for moving your research forward.
Many modules contain short videos,
and transcripts will be always available.
If you want to jump to another module or section,
you can do so at any point, or you can return
to the SPARK home page.
If you require more help, don't hesitate
to visit Learning Skill Services, the Writing Center,
or Talk to a Librarian.
To access all three of these in one place,
check out the Learning Commons in the Scott Library.
