Revisiting   Argument, Research, and Scholarly Writing

In the 21st Century, it is   important to be able to research and make wise decisions based on reliable   information. In fact, employers have high expectations regarding their   employees’ abilities to research. As discussed in the Post Your Introduction   forum, due to the overwhelming amount of information available researching   and locating reliable sources to guide decision-making can be very   challenging. Let’s examine in this discussion the challenges of research and   how developing information literacy skills can help.
