3R Workshop – Thursday Sept 26 12:30pm

It’s a well known fact that the average grad student manages to de-forest a small country, not to mention lose litres of blood due to paper cuts, from the paper they generate during the grad school process.  It is possible to manage much of it with technology; different software and apps can help streamline the process of collecting, sorting, and reading literature, and make writing a less stressful process.  This workshop is a chance to share tips and tricks, learn about some of these tools, and test out some of the ways you can tame your literature pile into a more manageable beast.

“Linda Siegel’s richly informative and highly readable book shows that untreated learning disabilities lie behind anti-social behaviour, teenage ‘acting out,’ and widescale social problems. Yet many are remarkably successful despite learning disabilities. This book demonstrates both sides, pointing to practical, inexpensive measures. Educators and policy-makers everywhere should take heed. It is a ‘must-read.'”
 
 —W. Wesley Pue, Professor of Law, University of British Columbia
