Author\u27s Description:
Welcome to your journey to becoming a communication scholar! We developed this workbook to guide you through the semester as you learn how understand and conduct scholarly research. What does it mean to be a scholar? A scholar is someone who specializes in a particular area of study. For you, this area is communication. And how do you become a scholar? By doing research.
But why is it important for you to learn research skills? You might be thinking, I want to be a journalist or make TV shows or work in public relations, why do I need to learn how to do research? Well, if you want someone to watch your TV show, read your article, or listen to your campaign, you will need to conduct research to see if the audience you’re targeting even exists. You will need to research to find out if your ideas are original, what the person you’re interviewing for an article has done in the past, or what makes a successful public relations campaign. You’ll need data in order to pitch your new TV show idea.
To be successful in organizational and business communication, it is essential that you learn how to effectively promote successful communication in any institution. This may include writing training manuals, employee handbooks, or conducting in-depth personnel research to ensure overall satisfaction of employees. Also, scholarly research is the foundation of any discipline, and many of the core principles of this field are derived from scholarly research.
Because we want you to succeed in the industry, we will spend the semester learning how to conduct research in the field of communication. We’ll start by providing you with a short history of communication research, show you how to gather academic research, and teach you how to write a literature review. Let\u27s get started!https://oer.galileo.usg.edu/communication-textbooks/1003/thumbnail.jp

Open Geography and GIS is a compilation of open educational resources used in Introductory Geography courses taught by three faculty at Kennesaw State University. This project is the product of an Affordable Learning Georgia Textbook Transformation Grant.
GEOG 1101: Introduction to Geography
Vanessa Slinger-Friedman and Jason Rhodes
This introductory course focuses on the global patterns of population, culture, resources, and economic systems. Students will obtain an understanding of the factors contributing to these patterns, and examine contemporary world issues such as urbanization, economic development, and resource utilization from a geographic point of view.
GEOG 1102: Earth from Above
Ulrike Ingram
This is a survey course for any student with an interest in geography, maps, or geospatial data and technologies. Students will obtain fundamental geographic principles of place and space, and learn introductory geospatial techniques such as map reading, coordinate systems, and scale by using global positioning satellite receivers, aerial photos, satellite imagery, and Google Earth technologies. The course is designed to give students hands-on experience to collect, manipulate, analyze, and understand geospatial data

Specification-Based Grading Resources for OpenStax College Physics (GGC)
No full textThis collection of ancillary materials for Introductory Biology was created under a Round Eleven Mini-Grant for Ancillary Materials Creation and Revision. Included are the following resources to assist a faculty member in implementing specification grading in an introductory physics course using OpenStax College Physics: Specification Grading Guide Specification Documents Quizzes Practice Final Exam
Author\u27s Description:
Rather than grading each assignment with partial credit and then taking a weighted average of your assignments to find a grade, this course uses a set of course expectations called “specifications” (spec for short). Each spec has an associated quiz. Some specifications are designated “critical.” To pass a quiz, you must perform at a “mastery” level (usually equivalent to what would have been an A or B with traditional grading.) Your final grade is determined by how many quizzes you pass.
These resources are also available on the Georgia Gwinnett College Wiki:
