We learned about this briefly in the Scholarly vs. Popular session. I mentioned this today in class in case you're not sure whether the journals articles you found were from scholarly journals (that is, peer-reviewed journals). You can use the reference book called Ulrich's Periodical Directory (2009) in the Reference Collection (call number REF Z6941 .U51 2009). The last volume (vol 4) has a title index, which is easy to use. Those journals that are peer-reviewed have graduation cap icons next to them.
Hope this will help you determine whether your source is scholarly.
As I mentioned in the class, find the journal's official web site will also help. It will list information about the journal for example if it's peer-reviewed, its peer-review committee, chief editor, etc.

Exam today
Dear students,
I just emailed you the link to the exam (if for some reason, you didn't receive the email, here's the link again: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=B4R_2fMUOBzy_2bv1maJ1Lm2Gg_3d_3d). You are on your own to take the exam (you have 1.5 hours to finish the exam which should be more than enough).
As I indicated in the email, I'm not feeling well today so I'm staying home to get well. The exam was made last week, however, I have a last minute Internet connection problem at home today, and I have to go to a public library to use the Internet. I'm not able to update the syllabus (with the exam link) since they don't have Dreamweaver here.
Sorry for sending the link a bit late and for the inconvenience that this may cause.

answer sheet for Quiz 3
It is posted on the syllabus under Session 9 (Nov. 16), yesterday's class.
Again, for those that can't open the files (PPT, MS Word 2007 files) on the syllabus, try to use Firefox as your Web browser, that should solve the problem. For your convenience, I've included the link here to download the newest version of Firefox.
