Assignment Calculator http://www.lib.umn.edu/help/calculator/ The site's calculator is just that - a calculator, but one which offers a detailed schedule of tasks to be completed. The due date of the assignment is entered along with an optional subject area. A simple click results in a timetable in which the essay requirements are delineated by specific dates with accompanying information on each segment. Using a 20 day time frame input, the calculator devised a plan with specific tasks for each day, among which were (by day 3) Write working thesis; (by day 5) Find, review, and evaluate books; (by day 13) Write 1st draft; (by day 15) Conduct additional research as necessary; (by day 18) Revise & rewrite. In each of these steps relevant resources are linked -- for example, organizing the first draft, evaluating source material and citing sources using various standard guides. ~*~*~*~*~ Was this forwarded to you?
