Intro to Critical Studies: Research Skills

Welcome to the CalArts Library portion of your Introduction to Critical Studies course!

• This course guide is a series of four ~15 minute activities: You'll have one research-related activity in each instructor's section of this course. Use the navigational menu to access these activities and the associated lectures.
• Each activity is fully self-contained, and designed for you to do either on your own or in small groups. I made videos that serve as substitutes for lectures where appropriate!
• Each instructor/TA may work differently with these modules, so they will either be assigned as homework or will be done as part of your TA discussion sections.
• These activities are all open ended, there are no "right" answers, so have fun with them! If you have any library questions, email libref@calarts.edu
