Notes from today, and homework for Wednesday, November 21

Posted on November 19, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Today we discussed writing an academic research paper and outline. On Wednesday, we’ll discuss the rationale for documentation and citation. Please read Hauptman pp. 7-13; if you missed class get the book on reserve in the library (call number PN171 .F56 H38 2008) and also Howard, Hot Type: A Modern Scholar’s Ailments: Link Rot and Footnote Flight. Your blogging assignment is one reading response blog post of at least 100 words.

Remember, the research paper outline is due by 10 a.m. Wednesday, either emailed to me as an attachment or handed in at the start of class! Please get in touch with any questions you have about the assignment.

If you are looking for links to help with in-text citations, working with Track Changes, or anything else we discussed in class, slides from today are available here.
