Welcome to the Information Competency Modules for your AH/BIO11 Nutrition class. For the next 5 weeks, you will have Internet assignments designed to give you experience finding and evaluating information about the controversies covered in your text.

Each module will have one lecture, which you'll use to try different searches and experiment with different evaluation techniques. Take notes as you work through these modules. Then, take the Internet quiz for that controversy. Quizzes are based on the searching you did in the module, and you'll have 2 opportunities to take most of them. I'm expecting all of you to get 100% for each quiz.

Your scores for these modules (a total of 30 points) will be added to your total grade for your main AH/BIO11 Nutrition class.

My name is Jo Anne Howell and I am one of the reference librarians at the Gavilan Library. I'll be checking your work and answering any questions you might have. If you run into any problems, you can email me at jhowell@gavilan.edu.

Pay close attention to the closing dates for each quiz. Each one will close on a Sunday night at 11:55 pm, 5 minutes before midnight. You can see due dates by holding your cursor over the pink dates in the calendar on the front page of the AHic classroom website.

Good luck to all of you and have fun!
