The purpose of this guide is to help Seneca Polytechnic Faculty create well-designed research assignments to foster a positive student learning experience.
Contact your librarian for support in finding resources suited to the specific needs of your course and learning outcomes, or to organize an information literacy workshop in support of your students' research assignments. For more Seneca Libraries support visit the Information for Faculty guide.
