Search Strategy
- Search strategies not described
- Does not demonstrate ability to adjust search strategy when an obstacle is encountered
- Does not demonstrate ability to address unmet challenges and information gaps, and/or to respond to failure
- No evidence of use of basic search techniques
- Lacks use of flexible and creative approaches to search language
- Selected sources display little awareness of the need for in-depth digging for research materials throughout the research process.
