Ms. Karen Shea (Plebe Experience Librarian and Library Liaison for the Center for Enhanced Performance) conducted classes on finding and evaluating news sources for Ms. Laura Vetter’s RS103 students. The class entitled “To Share or Not to Share: Evaluating News & Other Online Content”, focused on how social media has changed the way people read and share the news, and assisted in the proliferation of fake news. During the class students discussed the importance of avoiding confirmation bias by seeking out multiple viewpoints, and were provided with tips and sources to help them evaluate, verify and fact-check news sources.
