The Spring 2016 Show What You Know event will be held Thursday, February 4 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the University of Iowa's Main Library Library Commons. The event is free and open to the public. 

Show What You Know is a perfect ice breaker in the early weeks of a rhetoric course. It serves as a low-stakes assignment that helps students practice and gain confidence speaking in public while introducing them to critical research skills. The assignment asks students to teach their classmates something they know how to do or give a demonstration of a skill they think classmates would want to learn.

Each class will select the best “Show What You Know” presentation by secret ballot. The winner from each class will be invited to deliver their Show What You Know in the Library Learning Commons in a special public event with publicity and catering.

Students completing the “Research & Evaluating Sources” module will also have the opportunity to have their work entered into the Wikipedia Challenge. Winners from the challenge will be announced at the Show What You Know special public event.
