Research and the Writing Process: An On-line Tutorial

     This site is designed to assist students with their understanding and know-

how of 21^st century research and the writing process using the American

Psychological Association-Style (APA), Chicago-Style, and Modern

Language Association-Style (MLA) documentation formats. To this end, I

have written this site using all three documentation formats: APA, Chicago,

and MLA. However, equally as important as your understanding and know-

how of 21^st century research skills is the ability to follow directions,

specifically your instructor's directions. Note: If you are new to 21^st century

research and the writing process, I recommend that you read through each

page of this site in the order of the site's navigation.

     The information contained in this site has been prepared for students of the

Washington Metropolitan Area Consortium of Universities (WMCU) that was

formed to facilitate the coordination of resources among its members;

however, anyone who is interested in the writing process and research is

welcome to use this site (University 15). The other WMCU members are,

The American University, The Catholic University of America,

Corcoran College of Art + Design, Gallaudet University, Georgetown

University, George Mason University, The George Washington

University, Howard University, University of Maryland (College Park

Campus), Marymount University of Virginia, Southeastern University,

Trinity University, National Defense University, and National Defense

Intelligence College. (University 15)

It should be noted that I have prepared this site as my course project for

UDC's summer 2009 Computers and Composition class taught by Helene

Krauthamer, PhD. Every effort has been made to insure the accuracy of the

information presented; therefore, any errors on this site are unintentional.
