Library Assignment (required)

AFTER the library session, students should complete the “library assignment.” Please set the due date for this assignment to fall within two weeks after your library session. You will automatically receive an e-mail from each student once they have completed the assignment. It is up to you how you wish to assign a grade or provide participation points for completion. However, mandatory participation is crucial for the assessment process.

1. Assign each student a number from 1 to 25.
2. Assign a due date no more than 2 weeks after the library session.
3. Provide students with this URL so that they can complete the assignment: http://library.uncw.edu/instruction/UNI_library_assignment
