- Modular Approach to Teaching Research in Freshman Writing Courses. Saffioti, Carol Lee College Freshmen English Instruction Higher Education Instructional Materials Library Research Library Skills Reference Materials Research Skills Writing (Composition) Writing Skills As an alternative to the traditional freshman composition course, a one-credit research skills module has been organized to help students develop competency in reference work and organization for research papers. Designed as part of a three-credit composition course, the eight week module concentrates on developing competency in the following skills: selecting and abstracting information from library books, periodicals, and general reference works; planning a research paper on a specific topic and resourcefully using library research sources to find appropriate written material; writing up the findings of library research, using quotations and other references appropriately; and using standard documentation in footnotes and bibliography. (This paper includes a course outline for the eight week module and appendixes consisting of student guide sheets on the library, term papers, references and sources, and note cards.) (MAI)
