Welcome HILs!
ENGL 1301 is an interesting class especially for instruction librarians. Although there is a standardized syllabus for ENGL 1301, each professor approaches the content and assignments very differently. What that means for us is that we often have to do a lot of customizing of our content to the needs of the assignment and the individual instructor.
Examples:
It helps to have a collection of activities or handouts that you can adapt to any situation. For example, the CRAAP test for evaluating information can be adapted with examples for any subject, and UT has an excellent Topic/Keyword worksheet for discussions on brainstorming topics and translating them into searches.
If you have any questions about pedagogy design for ENGL 1301, please don't hesitate to contact your mentor.
