Put your progress report into the form of a memo. The example in Figure shows the format, but not, we hope, the content of a progress report. The body of the memo was written by William Cohen of China Lake, California, as an example of the many cliches and circumlocutions that appear in technical reports. Translations of the phrases appear in parentheses. Figure: Example of good memo form and bad style in a progress report (by William Cohen).

		A Student's Guide to WWW Research: Web Searching, Web Page Evaluation, and Research Strategies ^Votes:0 A Student's Guide to Research with the WWW This is a tutorial guide to conducting research on the World Wide Web for first year Composition and rhetoric students. I have synthesized work on research methods and page evaluation to provide students with a framework for managing their own Web research. Introduction This guide will help you explore the resources of the World Wide Web for your research, and introduce you to some strategies for evaluating Web sites. The Web presents a host of new challenges to researchers accustomed to the more rational world of the library stacks. Web sites are not organized like books in a library, and it would be impossible to catalog all of its sites. No one, after all, owns the Internet, there is no central organization in place to enforce quality or editor Read More Go to Site

		Active Essays ^Votes:0 Active Essays Computers make possible a new form of narrative expression, in which manipulable computational objects are embedded within text. Alan Kay coined the term active essay to describe this new form of expression. Through the use of the Java programming language, the Web is becoming a good medium for active essays. Before Java, most Web pages contained only "passive" objects, such as text, graphics, and video. Java makes it possible to mix "active" objects, such as user-controlled animations and simulations, with other media forms on Web pages. This combination opens new possibilities for creative expression. For example, the text description of a scientific concept can be connected to a simulation that enables the reader to explore that concept. In this way, "reading" a text can b Read More Go to Site

		Archived -- How Well Do Students Write? Can They Persuade? ^Votes:0 A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n How Well Do Students Write? Can They Persuade? Writers can communicate in a variety of ways from business letters to stories to reports to essays. But to become good writers, students need expert instruction, frequent practice, and constructive feedback. According to the results of the 1992 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Writing Assessment, many students have difficulty writing effectively. This new National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) study shows that even the best students who are able to write informative and narrative pieces have trouble in persuasive writing tasks. To compile the data, NCES used a nationally representative sample of 30,000 students in 4th, 8th, and 12th grade and had them respond to a variety of writ Read More Go to Site

Obviously knowledge of your subject is vital, but it is not enough in itself; students may have all the knowledge in their heads, but still lose marks through bad writing. Some of the most common reasons for losing marks are empty writing, clichÉs, over-generalisation and subjectivity. 1.

Find Out What Level Your Essay Is ] SEVEN GREAT AND UNEXPECTED TIPS ABOUT COLLEGE ENTRANCE ESSAYS 1. YOUR ESSAY IS NOT GRADED BY OLYMPIC JUDGES: College application essays are not graded like Olympics diving or gymnastics matches where you start with a 10 and lose points for every error. The essays are not read by tyrants with red pencils, they are read by harassed admissions officers who are looking for an impression. That impression is mostly emotional. The reader of your essay is reaching an emotional conclusion about YOU, not an intellectual conclusion about your topic. And the very best emotional conclusion that reader can reach is: "I really like this kid." 2. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ON Read More Go to Site

		CCI Writing Process - Reports ^Votes:0 CCI's Writing Process for Reports Prewriting for Short Stories Brainstorming can take any number of forms. The most important point to remember that you need to find a form that "works for you". Working for you means a format that allows you to generate quality ideas and keep them organized. The first step in report writing is to define your topic and be sure that you have an appropriate focus for the report. A common mistake is taking on a topic that is too broad or is something other than what the teacher is looking for. Be sure to check this aspect out carefully. Once you have defined the area you will focus on be sure to consider what you know and do not know about the subject. This will help you define what it is that you need to research. Once you begin to research be sure Read More Go to Site

		Common Errors in English ^Votes:0 Common Errors in English Go to list of errors. What is an error in English? The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I’ll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we’re concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak. But isn’t one person’s mistake another’s standard usage? Often enough, but if your standard usage causes other people to consider you stupid or ignorant, you may want to consider changing it.

		Essays about the Evolution of SciFi on Television ^Votes:0 Essays About the Evolution of Science Fiction on Television The Evolution of Science Fiction on Television An Essay Written By: Mark Huston Times change and fashions change, but one thing remains a constant on television; Science Fiction or Sci-Fi as it is often referred to. Science Fiction is a reflection on the world, of what people would like to happen and what they hope will not happen. Science fiction is a genre of literature and media but more importantly it may be a glimpse into history through past recordings. Continuous fear illustrated in a generation of Sci-Fi, with little cooperation shows that there is a fear in the world, whether a war or even the threat of war is occurring. It is a direct reflection on happiness, acceptance and fear, all visible for us on a small box in our Read More Go to Site

Avoiding these problems makes a case stronger. Further, finding these fallacies in other's statements can make your rebuttal easier. The Straw Man fallacy is committed when an arguer distorts an opponent's argument for the purpose of more easily attacking it.

Consider beginning with a "hook" to get your readers interested, such as the following, as suggested by the Bedford Handbook for Writers : a startling statistic or unusual fact a vivid example or case study a noteworthy quotation a sense of how your issue is commonly misunderstood a sense of why an issue is important, and the controversy over its causes and effects If you're having probl Read More Go to Site

		LEO Comparison/Contrast Essays ^Votes:0 LEO: Literacy Education Online Comparison/Contrast Essays When you compare things, you show their similarities ; when you contrast things, you show their differences . We can really understand only those things that are familiar to us or similar to things we already understand, so comparing and contrasting the unfamiliar with the familiar is one of the most important techniques for writing. You can, and probably do, use comparison and contrast to describe things, to define things, to analyze things, to make an argument -- to do, in fact, almost any kind of writing. When they are comparing and contrasting, for example, two ideas, like corsets and footbinding, most writers structure their essays one of four ways. First compare, then contrast (or vice versa). First do one idea, then do the ot Read More Go to Site

		LEO Narrative Essays ^Votes:0 LEO: Literacy Education Online Narrative Essays As a mode of expository writing, the narrative approach, more than any other, offers writers a chance to think and write about themselves. We all have experiences lodged in our memories which are worthy of sharing with readers. Yet sometimes they are so fused with other memories that a lot of the time spent in writing narrative is in the prewriting stage. In this stage, writers first need to select an incident worthy of writing about and, second, to find relevance in that incident. To do this, writers might ask themselves what about the incident provided new insights or awareness. Finally, writers must dredge up details which will make the incident real for readers. Principles of Writing Narrative Essays Once an incident is chosen, the writer Read More Go to Site

These are nothing more than tips and do not suggest a specific format. However, these items are a compendium of ideas that have been compiled by TAs who have previously taught this course. General Comments: 1. Neatness - an obvious necessity. TAs are only allocated 10-15 minutes to grade each lab writeup. It is very frustrating to try to grade a report that is poorly organized and/or illegibly written. 2. Correctness - make sure that sentences make sense and are reasonable. Do they conform to theoretical expectation. 3. Conciseness - don't spend time or words on unnecessary details, or rewriting sentences that are already in the lab manual. 4.

		Tip on Writing Essays ^Votes:0 Tip on Writing Essays Use First Person Active Voice - When explaining what you have done or what you propose to do say, for example, "I performed reciprocal transplant experiments to determine the effects of soil type and microenvironment on the growth of flowering dogwood."

		Writing Effective Examination Essays ^Votes:0 You may return to the J. B. Owens Home Page. You may also find it useful to read the standards used to evaluate longer essays. Writing Effective Examination Essays On examinations you will be writing relatively short essays. These will respond to interpretative questions. Most of the study questions accompanying each unit of the course are interpretative ones. Indeed, some have been used as examination questions, and you should know that I frequently reuse questions.
