The Non-Traditional Student Blog (BA): Son of Citation Machine

Save these helpful sites.
Here are some study websites to help you write papers, study better, and more.

Here are a few great places to help nontraditional students and others in research, footnotes, etc. for papers, and more.

Son of Citation Machine: this site helps with MLA, APA, Turabian, and Chicago-style citations. I've used it and really like it. It saves a LOT of time. Double-check it though.

Study Guides and Strategies - this terrific site has all kinds of different sections to help students with study skills, time management, memorizing for tests, how to do spreadsheets, and how to deal with Test Anxiety. What's really neat about this site is that it is available in many languages, besides English.

Nontraditional Students are in the groove this week.

Or are they?

In other words, are you having smooth sailing right now?

It is a busy time for most nontraditional students right now. Some nontraditional students are in the middle of Midterms this week. Others have tests or quizzes. And yet others are working on term papers or other assignments.

Hopefully students are "in the groove", not in a rut, and are sailing along, well-prepared and doing well in all their classes.

How is it going, nontraditional students? Well, I hope.

I will share a couple of links and some ideas to help you with your studying today and through this semester.

The first one is the wonderful Son of Citation Machine site. This site has a handy footnote maker that helps you conform to APA, MLA, Turabian, and Chicago style while you are crediting your sources for term papers. Here is that link:

The second one I shared last posting. It is the Joe Landsberger Study Guides and Strategies site. Here is that link:
Study Guides and Strategies.
As I explained earlier, this site helps you study smarter, but using proven learning and remembering methods. It also has lots of other good links to help with projects and a whole lot more.

More ideas

Have you started a study group for your more difficult classes? This is a time-honored method that still works today. The younger people in the study groups I started really benefited from it, as did I. We quizzed each other with questions each one of us thought would be on a test, and it was great to find out that the questions others had were completely different from those I had!

This reminds me, I need to write another posting about Study Group Tips. Be looking for it soon.

In the meantime, here is a posting link to help you start a study group if you want to:

Good luck, everyone, on your tests and midterms.
