This class follows a Zero-Cost Textbook model that will use various Open Educational Resources and/or library materials. You will not need to purchase a textbook for this class.
That means that all materials will be available one of the following ways:
– Linked directly from this website
– Sourced through QC Library resources like databases and journals
Annotations will be created as a class with the Hypothes.is browser tool. One to two readings a week will require annotations and will be labeled as such.
Please make sure you post your annotations and highlights to the INFO 7401 group.
