Oh, what a super question! Thank you very much JM! These are currently being introduced in LBSCI 700 (and other courses as well, especially in the LMS program), but here is Mr. Blick's ePortfolio link, and I believe Prof. Valero has very fine instructions online on setting up such an ePortfolio which I suspect he will be happy to share. See http://www.epsilen.com/wblick100 for Mr. Blick's site, and I will ask Prof. Valero to share the link to the instructions. Appreciate you following up. Sometimes we take for granted that the "word is out" and forget that every semester we get a new group of students who may not have been exposed to what we may take for granted. Good luck and please let us know if you have any other questions!

Gslisadjuncts APA Style & Writing Curriculum Space (February 7, 2012)
by Claudia Perry 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Dear Colleagues and Students, Please note that the Curriculum Space on APA Style on Tuesday (February 7, 2012) will be held from 5:45 to 7:15 in a location yet to be determined. This introduction to APA Style, with an emphasis on citations and references is especially important for students in 701, or for those in required core courses who have no previous experience with the 6th edition of the APA Style Manual. We will be sure to let you know as soon as the location is finalized. All classes starting at 3:55 will end early (just before 5:45), and 6:40 classes will start late (7:15), so that all interested students and faculty can attend. Curriculum Spaces are offered four times a semester, one each on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, to allow us to offer special events outside of regularly scheduled classes. We are also very pleased that Mr. John Trounski of the Writing Center will be speaking about services offered by the QC Writing Center, and the importance of good writing. We hope to see you! Drs. Claudia Perry and Ping Li
