The senior thesis is the capstone of a college education,
but writing one can be a daunting prospect. Students need to choose
their own topic and select the right adviser. Then they need to work
steadily for several months as they research, write, and manage a major
independent project. Now there's a mentor to help. How to Write a BA Thesis
is a practical, friendly guide written by Charles Lipson, an
experienced professor who has guided hundreds of students through the
thesis-writing process.
This book offers step-by-step advice on how to turn a vague idea into a clearly defined proposal,
then a draft paper, and, ultimately, a polished thesis. Lipson also
tackles issues beyond the classroom-from good work habits to coping
with personal problems that interfere with research and writing.
Filled
with examples and easy-to-use highlighted tips, the book also includes
handy time schedules that show when to begin various tasks and how much
time to spend on each. Convenient checklists remind students which
steps need special attention, and a detailed appendix, filled with
examples, shows how to use the three main citation systems in the
humanities and social sciences: MLA, APA, and Chicago. How to Write a BA Thesis will
help students work more comfortably and effectively-on their own and
with their advisers. Its clear guidelines and sensible advice make it
the perfect text for thesis workshops. Students and their advisers will
refer again and again to this invaluable resource. From choosing a
topic to preparing the final paper, How to Write a BA Thesis helps students turn a daunting prospect into a remarkable achievement.

The Developing Tactics for Listening Test Booklet is designed for unit-by-unit evaluation of students' mastery of the Student Book. (Midterm and final tests are available separately in Expanding Tactics for Listening Teacher's Book.) The tests may be given in a language laboratory or in a regular classroom with a CD player, and they are easily administered to large or small groups of students. Teachers may use the tests to assign grades or to identify areas where students need additional assistance. This test package includes photocopiable student test sheets, an answer key, and a tapescript of the tests. A CD on the inside back cover of the Test Booklet contains the recordings needed to administer the tests. The test items are based on the listening activities presented in the Student Book. To assess students' speaking ability, teachers may use the interviews, role plays, and other speaking activities in the Over to You sections of the Student Book.
"How To Teach So Students Remember" by Marilee Sprenger
When you teach a lesson, do your students remember the information the next day? The next week? Will they retain that information long enough to use it on a high-stakes test and, most importantly, will they retain it well enough to make use of it in their lives beyond school?
"How to Teach So Students Remember" offers seven steps to increase your students’ capacity to receive information in immediate memory, act on it in working memory, store it in long-term memory, and retrieve and manipulate it in unanticipated situations--that is, to use what they’ve learned when they need it.
