=Interested in Writing your Graduate Paper?=

This seminar will provide you with the background you need to make a stronger and more comprehensive product.
Just complete the our information on the following wiki pages:


 * 15 Topics -** You have identified 15 possible topics for your research


 * **Research Wiki**** - Provide your final 3 topics and resources


 * **Meet with Dr. Z****- Sign up for your appointment with Dr. Z


 * [|Write a Title and Abstract Posting Page]-** Once you have written your Title and Abstract, please post them on this page so that all can see them. **PLEASE NOTE:** Due to popular demand (at least one) this page is a **Google Doc page** that has been made open to the public so you shouldn't have any problem accessing it. Please contact Dr. Z if there is a problem.


 * Research Questions** - Post at least 3 research questions on the Research Wiki page. Post your final research topic after your name and then follow it with your research question. This should all be before the existing 3 topics that you have already posted. Review your classmates' questions and give them feedback. If you haven't already, you can post your questions on a [|Google Doc that is specifically set up for comments and response]. This is a good place to make commentary and edits without crowding our lovely Research Wiki page.

This is an opportunity for us to get together and share what we have been doing for the past year. It's not about chit-chatting. It's about professional development where we talk about our successes and challenges in creating a different learning environment for our students, colleagues or ourselves.
 * Cohort 2011 Conference @ UNI** - We will be getting together on the evening of June 10 and all day June 11.


 * Review Your Final Papers at our //Writing Review Center// **- A number of students voiced an interest in having a spot where students could link their writings as they progress through the class. Here is a wiki page with everyone's name on it.
 * 1) Create a Google Doc that is open to the public.
 * 2) Place a link from the Writing Review Center to your Google Doc.
 * 3) Copy the parts of your paper that you want reviewed into this Google Doc. (There is no RIGHT way to do this. Just paste in the parts that you want to share.)
 * 4) Test this out to make sure it works so that you can get feedback.

//**Giving Feedback:**// You can do this by typing into the document in a different color or using the //Insert Comment Google// //Doc// option.
