I’m sure this will vary for many people depending on their schools, where/when they were taught, and the like, so I’m interested to see what others’ experiences have been with this.
I’m also curious about what resources some have used to learn better research skills & media literacy (and found useful) if their school didn’t adequately teach either (or they may have whiffed on it at the time).
My undergrad helped with that. There was a required class that included writing different types of papers, including a research paper, visiting the librarian to learn about sources and how to make a bibliography, cite sources within a paper, not plagiarize someone. I believe I went over this stuff in highschool but I’m certain I had a college course that focused on this, as well. I believe it was called “graduate writing assessment requirement” and required for me.
