SUNY Potsdam Information Literacy Tutorials
Introduction:
As part of the General Education Program, students in classes with the Freshman Writing (FW), Freshman Speaking (FS), and Freshman Critical Thinking (FC) courses are introduced to the basic skills and concepts that define an information literate person. A more sophisticated understanding and skill base for information literacy is covered within the courses for a major. An overview of the learning objectives for each designator can be found at the general education page for these GEF (General Education Foundations) designators.
