major question

I teach a complicated course, with multiple goals with respect to skills.
Do I present books/articles about the topics?
Allthough I have books about science, doing research, searching, writing and presenting, and I will show them to the students, I don't want them to start reading them.
Doing research is about DOING, not reading about.

So I will just mention the books (and hope they don't grab them from shelve or computer).

"research is doing"Yes, that`s true. i agree with that. But reading is also important.There are a lot of papers and we can`t read them all.So we have to learn how to choose the right papers we want.I think it is a good idea to fill in the part of how to read scientific papers. Reading the papers is another way to learn how to write papers.
