    Assessment and Academic Values: A Partial Response to David Garfinkle
    (Oakland University, 2007-10-01) Lepkowski, Frank J.; Nixon, Jude V.
    In my esteemed colleague David Garfinkle’s cris de coeur decrying the lack of “academic values” among Oakland University administrators (Oakland Journal, Fall 2006), he admits that he wants to “stir things up,” and it is into that vortex I wish to pitch this modest contribution to the debate.

    The Librarian, the Machine, or a Little of Both: A Comparative Study of Three Information Literacy Pedagogies at Oakland University
    (ACRL Publications, 2007-07) Kraemer, Elizabeth W.; Lombardo, Shawn V.; Lepkowski, Frank J.
    Each year, Oakland library faculty provide information literacy instruction for Rhetoric 160, a first-year writing course, through a combination of WebCT-based online tutorials and in-class teaching. For this study, twelve sections of RHT 160 during the winter 2005 term were selected to compare three instructional methods: online instruction only, live instruction, and the current “hybrid” combination of live instruction and online tutorials. The sections were assigned to one of the instructional methods and, to assess student learning, all students (n=224) completed identical pre- and post-tests. Results of the study, including differences in student performance in relation to pedagogy, are discussed.
