Your Project
------------
Please describe your project:
For this assignment, students will find a health-related story in the news or media. They will then trace that story backwards by searching for peer-reviewed journal articles, scientific studies, etc. The purpose of this activity is to encourage students to compare the information from the original research/study with the mainstream media presentation and reflect on how the knowledge gained through this process can translate to their professional nursing practice. I am also embedding a librarian discussion board and several videos/tutorials to help students understand and utilize resources that will help them meet the information literacy objectives.
