This article provides the last update to a longitudinal study tracking the research behavior of a multi-col- lege undergraduate course in microeconomics from 1996 to 2001. Student term paper bibliographies grew between 1996 and 2000 but included fewer schol- arly resources. In 2001, students tended to cite schol- arly sources when the professor provided clear and enforceable guidelines in his class assignment. The accuracy and persistency of cited Web documents also increased as a result.
