Hi all,
I'll use this message to do two things:
1. It was pointed out to me that I never introduced myself to the group so
here goes. My name is Bobbie Turniansky. I'm an organizational
psychologist (UM graduate) living on a kibbutz in Israel. I teach at Ben
Gurion University and the Kaye College of Education (both in Beer Sheva).
For the past three years I've also been involved in e-learning and teach
social psychology over the Internet.
2. The main point of this message is to respond to Nathalie's "outlining
crusade". Nathalie, I can only beg you to be flexible with this. Outlining
is good for linear thinkers. Those, like me, who see structure only after
the work is partially finished will grind to a halting stop if asked to make
an outline. Alternatively, they will write a secret first draft and then
make you the outline. I had a similar problem during my doctoral work and
after 2 months I finally asked my instructor if he was more interested in
the outline or the work. Luckily, he answered the latter.
