Outcome 3: Information Literacy

Students will be able to evaluate and act on criteria for relevance, credibility, and ethics when gathering, analyzing, and presenting primary and secondary source materials.

A majority of the sources I used throughout the semester were found through UCF's online library system. In particular, JSTOR.org was useful for finding peer-reviewed academic articles that would be relevant to the topics being discussed. My Annotated Bibliography leading up to Paper 3 provides an example of how I sought out sources; it reviews seven texts, one being the assigned reading Bales' The Slave Next door and the other six being articles that go into further detail in two parts of the topic that I wanted to focus on.

Embed of Annotated Bibliography:

In the final draft of Paper 3, the implementation of these sources ends up varying depending on each topic's relevance to the proposed solution. Bales' text is referenced throughout the paper, particularly in the introductory sections, as it is the broadest source I had on the overall issue of modern slavery. The sources focusing on neocolonialism were used primarily to explain how the proposal's implementation might be done in affected areas, and the sources about U.S. prisons were used to explain why existing institutions might be unwilling to work towards a solution to modern slavery.
