A Guided Writing Experience

A Guided Wrting Experience An interactive experience designed for those who would like to get some experience in writing reports or papers. Open to non-students with permission of instructor. jeannecurran@habermas.org. If you cannot be on campus at CSUDH, you will need to subscribe for at least one month ($20) to Questia library and writing site to limit the instruction to a reasonable sphere. I can't do more than a few of these each semester, so you need to ask ahead. jeanne

Questia is an online collection of books, articles, journals, etc. on which you can get computer-assisted help with research papers. I used to use a reference citation software program, but it was too complicated for the papers we work with regularly. I want to try Questia by using it this month to write some of my lectures for next Fall. The reason I chose Questia is that it makes all the sources available online, let's you take notes and highlight. Watch as I try it.

I have three projects started:

• Habermas Update
• Health and Behavior
• Agency Management

  I've already chosen several texts and articles online, highlighted a few passages, and made some notes. I just need to learn how to translate all that onto the site here. I tried transferring the first entry on the bibliography for Health and Behavior. It came out printed just like that in my word processor. Now doesn't that make life easier?

  More as I learn. Right now I have to finish the indices and the site cleanup. jeanne

  P.S. students at elite schools get this kind of service free through their school libraries. We'll talk about this when we talk about poverty and class and exploitation and access.
