Cuz, you know, it's OK if it's from Charlie Brown. If it was from SpongeBob they'd have to stop. #mykidshaveneverseenspongebob #becauseimasnob 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I wish to report that I now have 12,540 words in my NaNo project. Because somebody besides me has got to care about that! No one at my house seems overly impressed. :glare: Oh well. Off to bed to dream up the next 12,000 for next week. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The hardest thing is to distill it to simple and practical in one hour with quiet students (thus, mind reading is involved).

Renai Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I just spent the last half hour trying to find the doi numbers of references I have cited. Tedious work. Especially when the site makes it seem easy - "put the reference here and we'll search the 74 million articles to find the right one for you!" - and it turns out you have to search through page after mind-numbing page because you got 2 million hits.

Renai Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Since I'm wading deep in APA right now, it is boggling to me how some people think it is okay to require this in 4th-6th grade as part of a science fair project. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grad assignment is to turn in the Reference page with everything done right. Because APA.
