Thanks Deborah and Dianne for your suggestions! These are helpful.
Deborah, is there any possibility that I might get a copy of your book?
Please let me know how, if so. Thanks again,
Janet Aguiar

I concur with Deborah and we have used all these resources at
Louisville
Seminary. We also used Deborah's book as part of a faculty seminar on
helping students write in theological education.
Dianne Reistroffer, Dean

Hope these references help a bit.

Subject: [sem_acadsupport] Writing Handbook
Hi all,
Can anyone recommend an English writing handbook for new
graduate
students? I'm looking for one that, along with the usual information,
includes a good section on academic reading, critical reading and
thinking, analysis, evaluation of sources, and up-to-date APA and
Chicago documentation sections. The handbook could be like "A
Writer's
Reference" or "Keys for Writers," but with the addition of good
information on academic reading, analysis and research. I do not want
a
reader, or a handbook that discusses the modes of writing; I expect
that
these students are already well aware of them. =20
I'd also like to know if there are publishers that produce
"custom"
handbooks. This type of handbook would be put together by the
publisher
according to the customer's request for certain topics, or the basic
handbook plus a selection of additional topics for additional
fees.=20
I've checked out Primis, but they don't have the content I'm looking
for. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Janet Aguiar
