EndNote Training
Learn how to use EndNote
to assist you in writing papers for publication. EndNote is an easy-to-use
way of managing citations and footnotes. Citations can be exported
from Google Scholar and databases such as Academic Search Premier,
then formatted instantly in a large variety of citation styles in
either EndNote or a Microsoft Word document. This class will focus
on the PC version of the software.
Two sessions will be offered:
Wednesday, April 16
at 1 pm
Friday, April 18 at 12
pm
If you are unable to come
to either session, please call and we can schedule a one-on-one
meeting.

Writing Guidelines
for Engineering and Science Students
http://www.writing.eng.vt.edu/
Crafting meaningful and articulate lab presentations and correspondence
can be difficult for anyone, including engineers and other scientists.
This particular set of resources is deigned to teach engineering
and science
students about creating and writing materials such as resumes, formal
laboratory reports, presentation slides, and so on. The guidelines
are gathered into several different sections, including "Introduction",
"Presentations", "Correspondence", and "Formal
Reports". There is material for instructors here as well, and
the offerings include pieces on the design of writing assignments,
the interactive teaching of writing, and the evaluation of writing
assignments. Finally, the site also contains a number of writing
exercises on grammar, punctuation, and word usage. [KMG]
The 2007 Brown
Center Report on American Education: How Well Are American Students
Learning? [pdf]
http://www.brookings.edu/reports/2007/~/media/Files/rc/reports/2007/1211_education_loveless/1211_education_loveless.pdf
Published by the Brown Center on American Education at the Brookings
Institution, this report asks the question: "How well are American
students learning?" Released in December 2007, this most recent
edition of the report examines the latest test score data on math
and reaching achievement. The report also offers analyses of enrollment
patterns in private and public schools as well as an international
comparison of national math scores. Tom Loveless, the director of
the Brown Center, authored the report and it covers a great deal
of ground and provides in-depth analysis of these topics. Visitors
should also note that the Brookings site also contains a press release,
a presentation by Loveless and video clips from the launch event
for the report. [KMG]
