Domain skills provides a detailed list of all of the sub-components addressed in the definition in addition to an indication of which currently available measures assess particular components.

Writing Exercises Editing Proof-reading Getting published Manuscript Preparation Submitting Your Work Writing: General Tips Recommended Dicuss this topic in our discussion forums Even the smallest piece of advice can be enough to help you write. Write as much as you can without your hand cramping, and stop. Later, at least an hour (waiting a full day or more is best), look back on it and revise small pieces of the story, and resume writing. If you're at a writer's block, keep writing SOMETHING (you can delete it later if you want), because ideas will eventually emerge as you continue writing. Write the plot out on a piece of paper first, then build scenes around it. Only a few people can write without a plot in mind successfully. If you aren't good at prose, write something in script format and after you're finished, change the format with minor revisions into a prose format and build scenes around it. - Brittany Whitstone.

This format can accommodate (simultaneously) scalars, vectors, arrays (in various data types) as well as character strings. To write out a FITS file with a binary table, you can use IFITSWRT: IFITSWRT,H,P1,...p15,OFN=fname,P1T=p1type,...P15T=p15type, $ P1U=p1unit,...P15U=p15unit,/update,typearr=typearr, $ unitarr=unitarr,instruc=instruc,tcomm=tcomm,/silent H The main FITS header (if you do not have one, specify a scalar and one will be created). These are the IDL variables you wish to write to the FITS binary table. At least one is required. These keywords are where you specify data types ( e.g. , 'wavelength') for each of the Pn variables. These keywords allow you to specify the units ( e.g. , 'angstroms'). These will be included as keywords in the extension header to be written. OFN The default filename will be data.fits unless you specify a different name via the OFN keyword. update allows data to be appended to an existing binary table FITS file.

The input and output functions are: public Status output_transform( FILE *file, char comments[], General_transform *transform ) public Status output_transform_file( char filename[], char comments[], General_transform *transform ) These two functions write the general transform to a file, in the appropriate format. The comments line is an arbitrary string which is stored in the file for documentation purposes. Newline characters in the comments correctly result in a multi-line comment with a comment character inserted at the beginning of each line. The first form of the function assumes the file is already open and will later be closed. The second form opens the file, with a default extension of .xfm , writes the transform, then closes the file. Both functions return

The second form of the function assumes the file is already open and will later be closed.

The volume_count_ptr must point to an integer that has been initialized. Each time an auxiliary MINC file of the transform is created, the integer is used to create a unique filename, and then the volume_count_ptr is incremented. Both functions return

It's a lovely dream to want to stay home and write for a living, but the truth is, very few people get rich from writing. Even those who are comfortably supporting themselves have worked a long time to get to the point they are now. Learning to write is an ongoing process and in the beginning there is a lot to learn. It's not a good idea to quit your day job, but it is a good idea to learn as much as you can about writing and to write as often as you can.

.Graduate Study previous page home Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing General Exam Information The assumption underlying the M.F.A. exams is that a writer must have an understanding of his/her tradition, of the historical and literary forces that shaped that tradition as well as its influence on subsequent literature, of the major theories about a specific genre and the techniques of writing for that genre, and of as many major works of recent literature as possible. While students will only be examined on their specific genre's list, a general understanding of Modernism is essential. Time Line for Written Comprehensive Exams Written comprehensive exams are offered three times each academic year: the first weekend following Labor Day in September, the first weekend back to classes at the beginning of the Spring semester, and the weekend following exam week at the end of the Spring semester. Students need to sign-up to take the written comprehensive exams with the Graduate Coordinator no less than one month prior to the exam time.

Additional Resources Print-friendly Format Site Index Site Information Contact Information Contributors Writing General Announcements W hen you write a general announcement, be sure to answer the W questions: who, what, when, where, and why. It's also a courtesy to announce "how much" if there is an admission charge or donation expected. Verify the information before you compose your message, proofread carefully, and then keep track of the addresses you use to distribute your announcement, just in case you need to update the information should it change. You'd be surprised how often email writers forget to announce the time or place of an event. Not only is it embarrassing to have to send a second general announcement about the event, but you're likely to be flooded with requests for that information, and handling those requests can eat up the time you saved by using email in the first place.

PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT WRITING General Principles The following are common problems which tend to make reports less readable. A poorly written report detracts from your work and creates an impression that you are less than expert. When you encounter green text Skills versus scores - Usually you will want to discuss the individual's abilities, unencumbered by direct reference to specific scales. Most readers do not understand the test and may draw inappropriate conclusions. An exception would be when writing a report for a psychologist or someone familiar with interpreting the scale. This does not mean that you should avoid examples, but examples should relate to abilities rather than simply pointing out that scale such-and-such was low or high. Grammar and sentence structure - Maintain tense, at least throughout sentences, and preferably throughout sections of the report. Discussion of actual test performance is in past tense (what the person did), whereas the discussion of abilities can be in present tense (what the person is like). Make sentences and clauses parallel in form. Avoid structural flaws (e.g., sentence fragments, misplaced modifiers). Slang, jargon, and "empty" phrases

Writing in the Sciences General advice for non-majors Helpful search tools and links Writing the Biology Paper Writing the Chemistry Paper Table of Contents Sciences: General Advice for Non-Majors General Advice Evidence and Methods Structuring the Paper Preferred Style of Writing General Advice What's hard about writing in the sciences? For a humanities major, just about everything. The math, the charts, the graphs: everything seems to conspire to confound the humanist. In the sciences, the questions are certainly intriguing: How did the universe begin? What are the laws of physics? How do genes work? The problem for the humanist is not the questions so much as the answers. In the sciences, answers require precise methods of measurement and hard empirical evidence in other words, elements that the humanist doesn't usually employ in his work. Though debates in the sciences can grow heated, scientists (unlike humanists) do agree that there is only one correct explanation for a phenomenon. This one correct explanation comprises scientific "truth." Science has as its goal the discovery of these explanations. The aim of scientific writing, then, is twofold: first, scientific writing informs the community of new discoveries; second, it helps the community to arrive at a consensus about the truth. Evidence and Methods The sciences exist to examine the phenomena of nature. Chemists, biologists and physicists all work systematically to investigate the behavior of nature, from the very big phenomena (like the creation of the universe) to the very small (like molecular studies or the examination of DNA). Scientists begin their work by forming a question, or hypothesis, about the phenomena of nature. They then devise an experiment that they hope will measure the behavior of the phenomenon in question. Scientists understand that many things might influence an event. Which do they look at? Scientists understand that even the misses are worth investigating and reporting, because they can rule out certain hypotheses, thereby taking the sciences one step closer to the truth.

Column Writing STEVE LOPEZ Steve Lopez Los Angeles Times text from this entry Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez knows when to make a joke and when to take a stand. The attack, which reads like a war crime, was sickening enough. But there was something just as repugnant in the jailhouse confession two of the suspects made to a Times reporter. Though they expressed remorse, there was an almost casual tone of detachment. Yeah, hey, we got high and it happened. Sorry. The column also included interviews with concerned parents, worried teenagers and local clergy. And what does this dragon do upon realizing that a member of the media has dropped by unannounced? Lopez tells the tale of his own passenger-for-hire experience. Stuck in heavy traffic on his way to Lynwood, Lopez enviously stares at the cars whizzing past in the carpool lane. In hopes of getting ahead, Lopez pulls into a Home Depot and hires a passenger for $25.
