This course is designed to improve cadet information literacy and critical thinking performance at USMA. Mastery of a variety of strategies leads to this goal. Strategies presented include: effective thinking, goal setting, time management, understanding of the research process, academic/library research skills, evaluation of information sources, critical reading and reasoning. The strategies mastered are implemented immediately into the cadets' present life at USMA and contribute to life-long learning. The course has no graded assignments. A final pass/no-credit grade determination is recorded on the cadet transcript.
