Research 101 Tutorial

Research 101 TutorialDo you have a research assignment and don’t know where to start? The Research 101 Tutorial will take you through the steps of the research process in three self-guided lessons: Begin Research, Understand Information Sources, and Find Sources. There are 10 Knowledge Check Questions for you to test your own understanding. You have unlimited attempts to answer. At the end of the tutorial you can print out the results to share with your Instructor. (Latest tutorial update: September 2019)
NOTE:
- Use the menu on the left side to navigate freely within the tutorial.
- There are ten Knowledge Check questions throughout the tutorial for your own self-assessment. If you need to re-try the questions after finishing the tutorial, restarting the tutorial won't reset the questions. Please clear your browser cache to do so. Here's more information about "getting credit" for completing the tutorial.
