Today we discussed writing an academic research paper. Slides from today are available here. The writing prompts are adapted from the book They Say, I Say, available at the City Tech library (2014 and older editions available).
On Monday we will discuss the rationale for documentation and citation. Please read the following: Hauptman, pp. 7-13 (distributed in class; if you missed class you can get it on reserve in the library with this call number: PN171 .F56 H38 2008) and Bugeja and Dimitrova, “What, in fact, causes footnotes to vanish?” pp.33-39 from their book Vanishing Act (download from the City Tech library using the barcode from your college ID to authenticate). Write one 100-word reading response blog post for those articles by 10 a.m. on Monday, April 20. Because I overlooked assigning 2 articles before Break, there is another blog post due tomorrow (not today as the outline was due). Please read the following 2 articles: Fister, The Devil in the Details and Grimmelman, The Google Dilemma and write a 100-word reading response blog post, due by 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 16.
We watched a video showing how to track changes in Word:
I’ll try to return your outlines by the end of the week. Questions about upcoming assignments? Get in touch.
