This project is part of the Assessment in Action: Academic Libraries and Student Success program, an initiative of ACRL's Value of Academic Libraries.
This project examined critical thinking of students in a one credit-hour information literacy (IL) course. The team used TRAILS pre/post-test to assess student IL skills. While these results were inconclusive, we were able to align the pretest data with student work in the final project. The rubric measured students' ability to apply higher level thinking to IL skills in order to create a viable thesis statement and support it with authoritative and relevant resources.
