UNC Symposium on Academic Productivity

 

October 3, 2008, 10-11:30AM, Manning Hall 208

 

 

About: Are you struggling with information overload, focus and concentration, or the quiet chaos of an unstructured, unscheduled "job" (despite all that ILS training)? We feel your pain. Join us to share your ideas and learn from others. We'll discuss productivity methods and systems, tech tips, the latest tools... and just vent.

 

Format: The Academic Productivity symposium employs the unconference format. There are seven sessions, each ten-minutes in length. Each presenter will be given ten minutes to present, answer questions. Since ten minutes is not a lot of time, you're not expected to cover much - present something that will quickly and easily make your fellow students lives easier.

 

We ask that you document your talk. So please create informative slides that we'll distribute to symposium attendees.

Resources

Hi all - I've attached my PPT slides (and the PDF version), and also my cheatsheet notes on the book Thinking on Paper, which is similar to the writing books Fred discussed. If you're interested in seeing the various drafts of my writing presentation (did it in 2006), it's available at http://brownstudy.pbwiki.com/InlsFinalProject.

 

BTW: To attach files, click the Attach file on the toolbar when you edit this page. Upload the file. After it's uploaded, select it and click OK, and its filename is inserted into the page at your cursor location.

 

It was great seeing everyone today! -- Mike Brown
