Homework
10
Due
April 7
Part
1
Paper is
due. See grading sheet (available on the main Resources
page) for guidelines. Please plan to submit a hard copy (easier and
more comfortable for me to read) and email
an electronic copy. (Do I need to remind you to scan for viruses first?)
The electronic
copy will let me insert comments in your work and email the paper back
to you - perhaps saving you a trip to the campus. I will accept Word,
AppleWorks, or Rich Text Format documents. Please name the file with
your last name.
March
31 will be a work session for your papers.You can visit the classroom
during the regularly scheduled time to get help from Becky or Dr.
Lange. This is optional.
Part
2
If you
haven't already, please turn in evidence of your PERC or Writing Center
appointment on April 7. To support you in writing your literature review
or research proposal, you will be required to do one (and only one)
of the following tasks. You may do both - in fact, I recommend it. Remember
that only one is required.
- The
University Writing Center offers free consultations to help you improve
your writing. Get some constructive criticism before you hand in your
paper! When you visit your writing consultant, take along the work
you've completed so far, along with a description of the writing assignment.
Be prepared to tell the consultant about your specific concerns. You
can schedule
a consultation online. Have a long drive? Contact them to see
if they can make alternative arrangements for you.
- NO
MORE APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE
- The library is refusing all further requests
for PERC sessions from this class. Visit the Writing Center instead.
Take time for a Personalized
Electronic Resource Consultation (PERC) session with one of the
reference librarians. One-on-one expert help from a reference librarian
is available at no charge. Let a pro help you find the resources you
need. You'll learn how it's done and become a more proficient researcher
in the process. Before arriving for your PERC session, you should
do some preliminary searching on your specific research topic. The
PERC consultant can help you refine your results or find things you
may not be able to find on your own. You can schedule
online. Live far from campus? PERC sessions are also available
at some of the area campuses if that is more convenient.

Making
Effective Oral Presentations - This website was created for a
speech communication class. It offers excellent advice about developing
speeches and using visual aids. Don't forget to read about practice
and delivery. It's a very important step.
