Weekly grammar tip newsletter

Here is a guest post from my Antioch colleague, Jacquelyn McCray:

As a graduate student, I find it fascinating to learn, with some degree of regularity I might add, just how much I don’t know about the abundance of grammar and punctuation rules that exist. While I am forever wedded to the APA (6^th Ed.) style manual, I also subscribe to ProofreadNow.com for weekly grammar and writing tips. Here’s the most recent Weekly Grammar Tip on the use of past perfect tense and proper use of to be and to have been. Enjoy!

Thanks Jacquelyn!

Working adult students, on my mind...

I hope this blog will be helpful to friends and others involved in a variety of endeavors. However, I created the blog with students in mind and continue to develop it with that specific group as my focus.

I believe that with the increase in evening, weekend, and low-residency programs, students are working more and more in isolation. If we were all full-time students on campus, we would have the informal support that comes with being able to go down the hall and talk with a colleague, etc. But instead, we are working late nights and weekends at home in front of the laptop.

With that in mind, I hope the encouragement lounge provides brief moments of respite and energizing connection. This does not at all replace valuable face-to-face contact. Many aspects of the academic journey can only be addressed via in-depth conversations with colleagues and teachers. And I would always rather sit down and talk with someone than to communicate online. Nonetheless, my aim is to give you one more channel for quick hits of support.
