Hi Nancy,
I would let the goals/potential of the student guide your expectations for
their final project. If the goal for computer use in performing personal
tasks at home, then perhaps properly formatting and editing a personal
document, such as a letter, recipe, personal notes, or an invitation would
be more appropriate. If they are headed toward college, then using one of
the style guides to format their paper would certainly be appropriate. I
probably wouldn't take on teaching the ins and out of one style guide but
you could share the resources and have them choose one to follow.

Hello:

I have a person who is working on a research paper for his final project in
technology class. His stated vocational goal is psychology. The plan has a
goal of voice actor. How deep do all of you get into writing styles such as
APA, Chicago and MLA? How long of a paper do you expect? What other kinds of
final projects do you assign? I have one who will complete the program by
thanksgiving with an independent living goal and some hope of non-clerical
work. I have a user who will not have a computer available and uses his
iPhone. The one doing the paper has about 6 weeks in the training center.
Ideas welcome.

Thank you.

Nancy Coffman
