Search U of M Please check out our new site at: HTTP://WRITING.UMN.EDU T eaching with W r iting: G eneral I nformation Discipline-Specific Strategies University Writing Requirements and Syllabus Resources Creating Effective Writing Assignments ... Resource Links At the University of Minnesota, instructors from across the disciplines are incorporating writing into their courses. Doing so has affirmed the enhancing role that writing activities can play in student learning. It has also allowed faculty and students alike to recognize that language use and text production take place within disciplinary language communities; writing in Law, for instance, looks different, is directed at a different audiences and is produced for a series of different purposes than is writing in Computer Science. What follows is an expanding compendium of practical suggestions and model materials created by faculty and teaching assistants as they have integrated writing into their courses. Some will apply to courses across the boards, while others are specific to disciplines or clusters of disciplines. Feel free to download and adapt material you find on our site. We ask only that you give credit to author(s) and that you identify CISW as the source.

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.

4. Reading And Writing General Transforms Reading and writing general Transforms. General transforms are storedin files in an ascii format devised at the McConnell Brain http://www.bic.mni.mcgill.ca/~david/volume_io/section2_9_4.html

Next: Final Source Code Up: Transforms Previous: Using General Transforms Reading and Writing General Transforms General transforms are stored in files in an ascii format devised at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, and usually have a filename extension of .xfm . 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

Next: 3.2.3 Converting IUE FITS Up: 3.2 FITS Files Previous: 3.2.1 Reading General FITS 3.2.2 Writing General FITS Files The most flexible FITS format uses the binary table extension. 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.

Introduction These notes are a miscellany of grammatical rules and explanations, comments on style , and suggestions on usage I put together for my classes. Nothing here is carved in stone, and many comments are matters of personal preference . Anyone who can resist turning my own preferences into dogma is welcome to use this HTML edition. Comments are always welcome. I should be clear up front: I'm not a linguist, nor a scholar of the history of the language. Linguists are wary of " prescriptive Why, then, have I spent so much time on a prescriptive and fairly traditional usage guide? Because these notes may be useful in making your writing clearer and more effective . I'm not out to make definitive statements about what's right and what's wrong , and Lord knows I wouldn't be qualified even if I tried. I can, however, make suggestions on things that are likely to

Guidelines on Writing a Philosophy Paper Philosophical writing is different from the writing you'll be asked to do in other courses. Most of the strategies described below will also serve you well when writing for other courses, but don't automatically assume that they all will. Nor should you assume that every writing guideline you've been given by other teachers is important when you're writing a philosophy paper. Some of those guidelines are routinely violated in good philosophical prose (e.g., see the guidelines on grammar , below). Contents What Does One Do in a Philosophy Paper? Three Stages of Writing Early Stages Write a Draft ... How You'll Be Graded What Does One Do in a Philosophy Paper? A philosophy paper consists of the reasoned defense of some claim Your paper must offer an argument. It can't consist in the mere report of your opinions, nor in a mere report of the opinions of the philosophers we discuss. You have to defend the claims you make. You have to offer reasons to believe them. So you can't just say: My view is that P.

Next, we introduce the concepts of low-level events and semantic events, recommending that you prefer semantic events when possible. The remainder of this section discusses implementation techniques you might use in some event listeners or see in event listeners created by other people or by GUI builders. Design Considerations Getting Event Information: Event Objects Concepts: Low-Level Events and Semantic Events Event Adapters ... The EventHandler Class Design Considerations The most important rule to keep in mind about event listeners that they should execute very quickly. Because all drawing and event-listening methods are executed in the same thread, a slow event-listener method can make the program seem unresponsive and slow to repaint itself. If you need to perform some lengthy operation as the result of an event, do it by starting up another thread (or somehow sending a request to another thread) to perform the operation. For help on using threads, see How to Use Threads You have many choices on how to implement an event listener. We can't recommend a specific approach because one solution won't suit all situations. However, we can give you some hints and show you some techniques that you might see, even if you don't use the same solution in your program.
