WRITING ISSUES:Plagiarism! Presented by: Michael Frizell, Director The Writing Center, Missouri State
"Writing is so complex an activity, so closely tied to a person's intellectual development, that it must be nurtured and practiced over all the years of a student's schooling and in every curricular area."--Dr. Barbara Walvoord, University of Notre Dame Initial Thoughts about Writing in ANY Classroom Adapted from: Barbara Gross Davis, University of California, Berkeley, http://teaching.berkeley.edu Supplemented with material from: Because Writing Matters from the National Writing Project
PART 1: Writing Effective Papers
“The act of writing something down is basically the decision to forget it.” - Plato Pictured: Aristotle & Homer
UNTITLED INSTRUCTIONS The procedure is actually quite simple. First, you must separate the items into piles accordingly. Then, set temperatures according to the facilities at hand. Use as directed.
UNTITLED INSTRUCTIONS To do it, you should position your front foot with your toe slid back toward the heel-edge. Your rear foot should be positioned with your toe on the opposite corner, namely the toe-edge of the tail. At a moderate to slow speed, pop an ollie, but as you kick your front foot for the "flip," swing your back foot underneath and behind you 360-shove-it-style. This will rotate it around as it spins. The whole thing should take about the same amount of time a kickflip does, so you won't have to hang too long. When the nose comes back around and the griptape side shows upward, stick your feet back on and land it.
