Thing 16: Assignment Calculator

Where was this when I was a procrastinating student?

This could have saved my life more than once. I love the helpful advice, the specifics for different types of papers, and the detailed links about comma usage and citations. It is a great resource for planning, but also for those last minutes when you are second guessing your grammar.

This would be a good tool to recommend at the reference desk if someone was asking about punctuation, or the specifics on how to write a literary analysis. I like to be able to say “and you can also try this other source...” for which this would be perfect.

I love the “no time?” condensed version of the prompts for teachers. It is a good reminder of what has to happen in a research project. This would make a great handout (revised even further, and written for students) for those who come in and ask us for “something about...” but look lost when we try to get them to be more specific than “World War Two” or “Civil Rights.”
