EC Information Literacy ? - mjno - 08-03-2007
Hello everyone,
I imagine since it is a requirement that someone has taken Information literacy. I plan on taken this pretty soon to get it out of the way, so if anyone can offer some feedback on what this course is like I would appreciate it.
I have not spoken to an EC advisor yet regarding the Info lit course, but I will next week, and besides it would be nice getting feedback from people that have actually taken the course.
Questions; Is this a pass/fail or is it graded?
Does it require a full 16 weeks to complete?
Is it pretty easy or something intense?
Thanks again,
Mike

I was forced to take this ridiculous course as part of my EC degree. It took me about 2-3 hours. Simply print out the material, glance over it, and take the test. I sweated it and felt rather foolish after I read the material....basically if you've been to a library and have used the internet, you'll be OK. You can also search this forum as I know this has been discussed several times before. Hope this helps, Lee

I have already taken this from PFC, and it is on my transcript there. Does anyone think EC would make me take it again?

I would really doubt it, but just to be sure, call and talk to an advisor.

Thanks Lee,
They make it sound complicated.

The thought of taking the Info Lit. course was frustrating. I tried to avoid the "course" for a long time. But, Kiwi Lover encouraged me to just do it and get it out of the way. So, I did.
I completed it in a couple of hours and it was a big relief to check that box on my degree plan.
I'm glad I got it over with!!So... I would encourage you to just do it, that is, if you are financially prepared.
It won't go away... and besides, it's an easy credit.

I also took this course and found it to be quite easy. With the practice tests and the final you should complete this course with no study time in less than 4 hours. This includes bathroom breaks.
