  •  For example, how might  summarizing "the changes in scholarly perspective over time on a particular topic within a specific discipline" change the way one consumes information? How does this activity make the researcher a more critical/skeptical/adept consumer of information? 

Group C: 

• How might the dispositions (ways of thinking) help one cultivate a more reflective consumption of information?

  • For example, how might recognizing that one is often "entering into an ongoing scholarly conversation and not a finished conversation" change the way one consumes information? How does this make the researcher a more critical/skeptical/adept consumer of information? 

Group D:  

• How might the dispositions (ways of thinking) help one cultivate a more reflective consumption of information?

  • For example, how might recognizing that one is often "entering into an ongoing scholarly conversation and not a finished conversation" change the way one consumes information? How does this make the researcher a more critical/skeptical/adept consumer of information?
