Research Practices: Reading, Writing, and Citing

Enroll and get started here

A&L's Research Practices Canvas Workshop is designed for anyone approaching a research project, from class assignments to the Graduate thesis, especially those new to academic writing that integrates references to source material. It aims to help you understand the conventions of research writing and introduce practices that help you achieve them through a self-guided series of modules on:

  • Finding, documenting, and citing sources

  • Active reading and reflective engagement with sources

  • Integrating research into your writing

Each module provides instruction and guidance as well as activities and opportunities for engagement with other students.

RISD students can participate in the whole workshop (approximately 7 hours of work in total) or select modules. None of the tasks are graded, but A&L staff will check in and provide feedback.

Reach out to the creator of this workshop, Meredith Barrett (mbarret01@risd.edu), with any questions.
