do not know where to find good articles on art history topics.
•How do I use Business Source Complete database? Can you help me with
my search?
•How do I cite class notes in APA style?
•What is the difference between "scholarly" and "peer-reviewed" journal
articles?
•I am getting too many results when I use the library catalogue - can you
help?

Is this how you imagine the conversation?

18. Scholarly inquiry
The syllabus is a hypothesis that if I teach the class this way, if I teach
this material in this order, and if students do these things, then I
hypothesize that something will happen. Students will learn, they’ll
grow, they’ll benefit – Randy Bass, Vice Provost Education at
Georgetown University

19. Valuing the work as an institution
