Sequential Writing Assignments to Critically Evaluate Primary Scientific Literature
Wood, Suzanne
Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, v13 p50-56 2020
In the later years of undergraduate study, students read, process, and evaluate primary literature within specific fields of study. Shifting from textbooks to the vast amounts of peer-reviewed current literature can be difficult for students. This article details an innovative approach to helping students successfully make this transition through a series of sequential assignments based on the levels of increasing cognitive complexity in Bloom's taxonomy. These assignments are designed to be flexible enough to use in fields throughout the sciences and beyond, while allowing instructors to tailor these assignments to meet the needs of their particular students.
