From Student to Scholar looks like it would have been a very helpful book when I was in school. Shoot, it might have been good after that, too.
Wish they’d had this when I was a youngster

Interested in teaching online?
Right now I have too many classes. I was offered a total of six this semester and with me spending forty hours a week with my father in the hospital following a stroke, I am just grateful I only ended up with four.
In the fall I am scheduled for six and may have eight. That’s for a whopping take home pay of $13,800. But those are adjuncting positions around Houston.
According to Virtual Prof, teaching online is profitable and possible.
The Jobs Resource post is interesting. I clicked on one and found out my alma mater is hiring, but not in my field.

How to write a literature review (APA)
In my Writing in the Behavioral Sciences, we use a book which describes a literature review and there is a sample in a second book. But I really don’t think my students understood exactly what I was looking for. So we have read through two in class (including my lit review from my dissertation) and I pointed out two good websites.
Okay, this one I used for my own notes. I didn’t actually show it to them.
The first one is far more in-depth than any of my students would look at on their own at this point. Of course, as they get into their majors, this level might be useful. It was created for a graduate level course, though, and my students are only sophomores.
The second one is more geared towards undergraduates.
