Meet the students
Research and Evaluation in Information Studies (ISI5307) is a mandatory course for all students enrolled in the Master of Information Studies at the University of Ottawa. The MIS program in Canada's capital is bilingual (French and English) and students can submit all assignments and reports in the language of their choice. That's why our blog has posts in English and French.
This Winter the course is taught by ÉSIS faculty Stefanie Haustein and we are 19 students. Most are first-year graduate students, but a few of us will be graduating at the end of the semester.
