REVISED Assignment
Deadlines! Since Cora has taken so long to update and
post the rest of Lesson #3 readings and the written assignment,
work schedule and deadlines must be revised to give students
more to complete not only Lesson #3 but also Lesson #4!
These revised deadlines
will be posted soon!
Why has it taken Cora so long to post Lesson #3 assignments?
Here's the skinny: MLA (in 2009) and APA (in 2008) have very
recently revised (yet again!) their official documentation style
handbooks, which contain some significant changes in
documentation requirements, advice, and models for citing common
types of sources. Influenced by such APA & MLA changes, other
academic and professional entities responsible for establishing
discipline-specific documentation guidelines in their respective
fields, are also contemplating changes. Fortunately, NOT
everything has changed, but enough has changed to render many
parts of Cora's carefully prepared lesson documents current the
last time I offered WR 199 (in Spring 2008) now either out of
date or soon to become out of date! (I won't even be able to
obtain a copy of MLA's newest handbook until early May 2009!)
Advice and models for documentation styles given in textbooks
like ours (BR)
and others (even with publication dates as recent at 2009) are
also, therefore, even further out of date in some respects.
Since I didn't want to give WR 199 students outdated advice and
models (if I could help it), I've been updating my APA and MLA
instructional materials with the latest information I have.
(Technical difficulties with my home computer, Humanities Dept.
Chair deadlines, and illness have also slowed me down over the
last week and a half - my sincere apologies!) ~ Cora, 2/6/09 |
