Rhyming and undeciding in Wordsworth and Norman Nicholson

Wordsworth's poem ‘Yarrow Unvisited’ suggests that it is better not to go somewhere than to go and risk being disappointed.

Both poets look forward to a time when they might be forced to look back with regret, and choose instead to preserve a sense of what might have been.

In addition, information literacy instruction may invoke increased student participation in the scholarly discourse of their chosen discipline. The implementation of a stratified course-integrated approach may be particularly valuable to upper-level undergraduates in preparation for completing a thesis or other culminating project in their final year of study. This claim is examined within the context of an instruction session observed as a component of a third-year undergraduate Materials Science and Engineering course
