Citing for Research Papers Tip

Use this website: http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/ for help on citing in your papers.

One obstacle for college students is that you have to use a different citing method for different classes. For instance, English classes use MLA, Psychology uses APA, and Religious Studies uses Chicago. How do you keep them straight? Well, this website can help. If you go to the link above, you can see examples for each style, as well as directions on how to cite different type of sources. Lots of people don't take the time to make sure that they are citing everything correctly, but in our humble opinions, it's better to check and make sure, rather than getting points off for something silly, like putting the publisher in the wrong spot.

Which of the following words means "A public debate or argument"?

a. obsolete

That's right kids, forensic doesn't just refer to a cool branch of science, in which it means "the application of scientific knowledge to legal problems". Actually forensic is involved in a whole slew of disciplines: forensic anthropology, forensic psychology, forensic linguistics, forensic accounting....I could go on, but just Google it.

Time Management Tip

Use your in-between times!

Make flash cards for classes in which you have to memorize a lot (a language for instance, or maybe a math class with a lot of formulas) and have them in your bag with you, so that in small moments of free time you have (walking to class, waiting for someone at lunch, in your 10 minute break in between classes) you can pull those out and get a quick study session in. You can also record yourself reading your notes or your text book, and listen to it while you're driving, or put it on your ipod so you can listen to it while walking to class. We all like listening to ourselves talk anyway, right?

Study Schedule Tip

KNOW THY SELF

If you are anything like me you are NOT a morning person. Or you may be of a different breed in that you get sleepy right after lunch. Whatever the case, everyone has a time of the day in which they are not at their best. Now hopefully the opposite is true as well, in that most people have certain times of the day in which they can think clearly and be really productive. Sense would follow in that we should all know the times of the day that we can produce the best work, and work during those times. This may require some planning, which becomes difficult for those that may procrastinate. For instance, if you are cramming for an exam, you can’t really choose to study at a specific time, because most likely you need to study every minute of whatever time you have left remaining before the exam. Try a different, possibly more successful, tactic: spread the studying out over a longer period of time during the times of the day in which you can retain the most and get the most out of your time! Can I say time one more time? The answer is yes.

Note-taking tip #1

Take 5 (or so) short, infinitesimal minutes to look at your notes right after class

Not only does looking at your notes immediately after class ensure that when you do study for your exam you have at least looked at your notes twice before, it also gives you an opportunity to fill in any blanks that may have occurred during class. For instance, oftentimes during lectures you may abbreviate things because your professor is speaking quickly, and then say, “I’ll definitely understand that later.” And what do you know: the exam is here, you’re studying, and the cryptic anagram you’ve made now has little to no meaning. And if you have made the abominable mistake of cramming, there is no hope of contacting the professor the night before the test to clarify what your crazy excuse for notes might actually mean. Stop the madness; do yourself a favor. Read your notes after class!
