Webspiration Online Paper Planning

Hey Hey Hey–

It’s that time of year when you’ll have lots of tests to take and papers to write.  The website “Webspiration” (http://www.mywebspiration.com/) is a great resource for brainstorming, outlining, and researching papers.  You can upload or insert citations from programs like EndNote and transform a full color web into an orderly outline with just the click of a button.  It’s great for visual learners and anyone working on a long-term project.

Happy writing!

On-Line Flashcards

Hello, tutors–

As I am sure many of you already know, there are countless study tools available for you on the internet.  For yourself, or for the students with whom you work, I suggest you take a look at Quizlet (http://quizlet.com/).  You are able to create your own online flashcards, then play games using the terms and definitions you have provided and practice with short answer, multiple choice, and true/false exams it generates from the material you type in.  It will even read your flash cards to you!  If you have the time, check it out!
