Adding the Sample Reading List

The Sample Reading List page allows you to list up to six documents that will be on the course reading list, specifying the author and title of a book, or, if the material was published in a journal, the author, article title, and journal title. If the course has more titles than will fit on the page, or if the instructor does not wish to list all the reading materials in the Course Offerings, you can specify that students see the instructor for a complete list.

The Sample Reading List page has two columns where you can enter names. The first column, labeled Author/Article Title, is where you enter the parts of the reference that are not to be underlined in the Course Offerings. This may be just the author's name, or may be the author's name and article name. When entering these names, punctuate them just as you want the names to appear in the Course Offerings publication, except for the final comma, which the system will insert.

The second column is where you enter the title of a book or a journal. Anything entered in this column will be underlined in the Course Offerings write-up.

For example, for an article written by John Smith appearing in InterCom magazine, you would specify the following in the Author/Article Title field:

John Smith, "Reading to Learn"

In the Title/Journal Title field, you would specify the following:

Intercom, April 2000

The above entries would produce this in the Course Offerings:

John Smith, "Reading to Learn", Intercom, April 2000.

To enter the sample reading list:

  1. In the Schedule New Course page group, click the Sample Reading tab.
  2. Type the part of the reference that is not to be underlined-the author of a book, or the author and title of a journal article-in the Author/Article Title field, and press the Tab key. Make sure you punctuate as you want the reference to appear in the Course Offerings, except for the final comma, which will be inserted by the system.
  3. Type the part of the reference that is to be underlined-the title of the book, or the title of the journal for a journal article-in the Title/Journal Title field.
  4. Repeat Steps 2 & 3 for each document on the reading list.
  5. If there are more documents than will fit on the Sample Reading page, or the instructor does not yet have his reading list, or does not want to include a full reading list in the Course Offerings publication, select () the See instructor for complete list checkbox. This will print that instruction in the Course Offerings, after listing any documents entered on this page.
