Notes from today, and reading and assignments for Wednesday, April 18

Today we discussed writing an academic research paper and played the evaluation game in class. Congratulations to the winning team: Carlton, Ibn, and Matthew, who presented an article from the April  12th Chicago Tribune titled “Student Loan Debt a Growing Threat to the Economy.”

On Wednesday, April 18 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 Howard, Hot Type: A Modern Scholar’s Ailments: Link Rot and Footnote Flight.

The research paper draft is due by 10 a.m. or in class on Wednesday! Please get in touch with any questions you have about that assignment.

Slides from today are available here.
