I love hearing from students, and I love helping my students succeed. I also love email, which is at least in theory an ownerless, anarchistic, open protocol that doesn't rely on any one company or entity to make it work. But often I find that students come to college in need of a few pointers on what an effective email looks like. text/html 2015-12-11T00:22:33+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://nathanschneider.info/school/syllabus_of_questions?rev=1449793353&do=diff A Syllabus of Questions Instructor * Who is in charge here, and why? * What do we need to know about the instructor? * What is the instructor's role in the course?

There is no one style of citation that is appropriate for every case. Rather than stipulate a particular citation style for all times and places, I encourage students to learn to determine for themselves what standards they should use in a given context. By the end of one's education, one should be familiar with a variety of citation techniques.
