It offers each student their own personal workspace that you can customize to set reading preferences, create project folders, and to shelve favorite materials. Also included, is a helpful guide to writing effective research papers!
Digital research tools that allow you to generate automatic citations, quotes, and bibliographies; highlight text in different colors; take notes in the margins of books; and bookmark pages.
Each student has their own, personal login. The user name is your last name and student number (all lowercase and no spaces) and the password is the opposite, student number and last name.
