Introduction to CMOS formatting for document, footnotes, and bibliography. Includes examples of annotated bibliographies. Created by Elaine Patton, LSC-University Park Student Learning Resource Center.
[Prepared for Faculty Development Day 2017 at Lone Star College-University Park.] Students often get lost in research assignments, especially when they try to run with a topic (jumping into specialized searches) before they can walk (gathering background information). This session will look at breaking down your research assignments into the research process. Credo Reference will be highlighted as resources to support the pre-research phase.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

25. IN-TEXT CITATIONS
When do you use in-text citations?
If you didn’t originally think it or say it, attribute
it!
Exception: commonly-known facts don’t need
citations.
26. IN-TEXT CITATIONS
• Include author(s), year, and page number(s)
• E.g.
(Author, 2012, p. 12)
(Author, Author, & Author, 2012)
(Author & Author, 2012, p. 12-13)
27. IN-TEXT CITATIONS
• If you don’t have a piece of info, skip it!
• Your in-text citation will be whatever the
start of the citation on your References page
is.
28. IN-TEXT CITATIONS
So long as you have all 3 elements, you can
mix up how your in-text citations are
introduced:
– According to X (2004), … (p. 19-20).
– This is a statement (X, 2004, p. 50).
– This has been accepted by X (2004), Y & Z
(2009), and A (2008).
29. IN-TEXT CITATIONS
• Paraphrase
–Do not just swap out a few words with
synonyms!
• Direct quote
–Uses “quotation marks” around the source
content
–If it’s longer than 40 words, no quotes:
make it a block quote with ½” margins
30. IS THIS CORRECT?
: “These and related findings suggest the role of aesthetics
in product design: attractive things make people feel
good, which in turn makes them think more creatively.” –
Donald Norman’s Emotional Design (2004)
In your paper: Aesthetics aren’t purely superficial in object
design. Attractive objects make people feel good, which
in turn makes them more creative in their thinking. When
they’re being creative, people are better able to solve
problems.
31. IS THIS CORRECT?
: “These and related findings suggest the role of aesthetics
in product design: attractive things make people feel
good, which in turn makes them think more creatively.” –
Donald Norman’s Emotional Design (2004)
In your paper: Citing a study by psychologist Alice Isen,
Norman (2004) suggests that aesthetic design, by
improving people’s moods and therefore making them
more creative, can ultimately make them better problem-
solvers (p. 19).
