January 23, 2024 1 Almost all the classes I have taken thus far have presented me with this information. So for me, this tutorial was redundant and did not present any new information. But, for someone new to the research process, this would be an informative tool.

September 27, 2023 4 it was effective!

September 14, 2023 5

September 09, 2023 5 I've read a few scholarly articles but usually only the abstract, I never knew the full depth of them nor the sections contained.
September 08, 2023 5 this gave me a complete understanding of scholarly article\r\nthanks
September 08, 2023 5 I think this was simple and an easy learning tool.
September 08, 2023 4 Very good. I liked how it will help me in picking and writing the wikiproject articles.
September 08, 2023 4 A very clear and useful learning object. thanks! One thing to consider: Pointing out the references, as a way of finding other relevant sources, is important. However, it can be even more useful to direct them (additionally) to the literature review as a topical index of those sources. In the lit review, students see a salient statement from the source, and this may give them a specific reason to seek the source (or at least its full reference). From the lit review, they can locate the reference. After pasting it into Google Scholar, they are almost to the full text. If the in-text citation was good enough to give a page number, even better. A graduate students may benefit from skimming a list of references, but this is a skill acquired over the years.
September 07, 2023 3 I knew this information already, so it was not that informative for me. But I do really like how it was set up. Very easy to use
September 07, 2023 4 Quiz is hard to control.

September 06, 2023 5 very simple i liked it

September 04, 2023 5 very well done, easy to follow and to learn from it.
September 01, 2023 4 I like the interactive aspect
August 30, 2023 4 na

June 15, 2023 4 it was good
June 09, 2023 5 it was good and repetitive; I myself need repetitive so that I can remember things and even then, I still don't.
May 22, 2023 4 na
May 12, 2023 5 I'm a librarian who found this through an ALA listserv. I think it's great! I would recommend changing it to "anatomy of a research article", though. There are scholarly and peer-reviewed articles in history, humanities, etc. that do not follow the abstract/intro/methods/results/discussion/conclusion format. Thank you for sharing!
May 08, 2023 5 It used a wire-matching pattern to help me and remember the meaning of nouns.
May 07, 2023 1 horrid 1
May 05, 2023 5 It was informative
May 05, 2023 5 the info was very helpful
May 05, 2023 3 The information was very hard to remember.
May 04, 2023 5 I like to learn this way.
May 03, 2023 4 I think that the descriptions of the results and discussion sections are muddy enough that it is easy to confuse one section with the other. Some articles use the terms "results" and "analyses" interchangeably because results are derived from data analyses. I recommend describing the discussion section this way: "In this section, the authors elaborate on the results of their analyses."
April 30, 2023 2 This tutorial feels like it could use some work. For example, it could be good to revisit the definition used for the discussion section. I write scholarly articles as part of my work, and "data analysis" is something I would report in the results, not the discussion.
April 30, 2023 5 It's very informative and will allow me to understand the scholarly articles even more.
April 30, 2023 5 effective
April 28, 2023 5 It helped better understand what I am reading when it comes to Scholarly articles.

March 29, 2023 5 Good
March 29, 2023 5 I feel like this tutorial was very helpful
March 27, 2023 5 I liked the fact that we had to click on the article to locate and define what it was. This is extremely useful and an extremely easy way to learn the concept. I also liked at the end where we had to drag the concept to the definition, this allowed me to demonstrate to myself that I really understand.
March 26, 2023 4 Helpful and informative. \r\n
March 26, 2023 5 Had to use my brain power to connect the dots
March 25, 2023 3 It all made sense.

March 18, 2023 5 Breaking down each section and connecting the definition to the word help comprehend what is expected when looking a a scholarly article.

March 15, 2023 5 great
March 15, 2023 5 it is works for me

March 15, 2023 5 It is works for me.
March 13, 2023 5 thought it was great\r\n

February 26, 2023 5 It was great.
February 26, 2023 5 It was easy to understand and helped me out most effectively. I think with more practices like this will help those who are struggling to understand a fighting chance to get it right the firt time around.
February 25, 2023 5 Very effective
February 24, 2023 5 Good easy to understand
February 23, 2023 5 I felt a better understanding of each definition and how to identify them.

February 23, 2023 5 Learned all the different parts of what the text means.
February 22, 2023 4 great!
February 22, 2023 4 Very helpful and made me understand this better
February 21, 2023 5 it was more of a review because I've worked with scholarly sources before, but showing the location in the text helped me visualize it more
February 18, 2023 5 this was very well described, and the labeling was a great way to see definitions.
February 11, 2023 5 very effective

February 06, 2023 5 This tutorial was very clear and concise.
February 06, 2023 5 I did not realize Scholarly Articles had this many In-Depth sections to it. It seems to be way more involved than a standard essay.
February 06, 2023 5 I thought this was a real good tutorial to go over, it helped me understand the sections in the article that I did not know about. I always have thought that the "Introduction" was always the first paragraph.
February 06, 2023 4 On iPad I wasn’t able to do the quiz, as I couldn’t move the sets
February 06, 2023 5 good tutorial
February 06, 2023 4 It was good
