English 151 Instruction Setup Form

Notes to librarian: e-mail your instructors as soon as possible.
  • Yes, it might be possible to reschedule your sessions; ask LW
  • Stress team teaching. The instructor must attend the library sessions. Talk about working together to insure participation and make it clear that this is important.
  • Discuss how the time will be structured. Remember to allow a lot of time for hands-on and hover.
  • Stress the importance of students coming with a topic. If they are having trouble, we'd like to work with them to find alternative search terms or aspects of the topic rather than switching topics. Mention that a written research proposal done before the library session has proven to be valuable.
