RooWriter Essay Expectations
•
RooWriter Essay Expectations & Instructions You may take the RooWriter as many
times as you wish throughout your academic career at UMKC, and each time you
submit an essay you will receive evaluative comments in order to help you work
toward ever better writing skills. Read critically and write well!
[[email protected]] If you have a documented disability and need academic
accommodations to take the RooWriter please contact the UMKC Office of Services
for Students with Disabilities at (816) 235-5696 or (816) 235-5672, or email
[email protected] MINIMAL ESSAY REQUIREMENTS See below for expanded
details • Read ALL the articles in your chosen Reading Packet. We will assume that
you have done so. • You MUST write your essay in response to the prompt
(question) assigned to you when you “Start Essay.” • You MUST cite within your
essay from at least 3 of the 5-7 different URL sources in your chosen Reading Packet.
• You MUST use the Reading Packet sources to develop your argument. • You MUST
complete the “Works Cited” box for all sources you use within your essay. • You may
NOT use or cite any sources outside of those in your Reading Packet. • You MUST
follow the directions “When writing your essay” that appear on the essay writing
web page. BEFORE YOU CLICK ON “START ESSAY” Analyze the readings & organize
your thoughts • Log in to the RooWriter web site. • Review this document
(RooWriter Essay Expectations) & the Evaluation Rubric (the 6 scales) document. •
Visit the Reading Packets page, and click on your choice of Reading Packet. • Visit
the URL web addresses and allow yourself whatever time you need to download all
the Reading Packet articles. • Log out. • Allow yourself several days or more to READ
and ANNOTATE all the articles in your chosen Reading Packet in preparation for
writing your RooWriter essay. • Until you actually click on “Start Essay” and the 72hour clock begins to count down, you will not receive an essay prompt (essay
question) based on your chosen Reading Packet about which to write your essay.
However, before you log in again, you can develop central ideas, and a position
about the subject matter of your chosen Reading Packet, which will prepare you for
whatever prompt you receive. • Draft an argument to support your idea/s about the
topic. What will convince a reader that your idea/s are valid and interesting? It may
be helpful at this point to brainstorm your ideas in a non-linear way, as with a mind
map or concept map, e.g., (http://lillypad12c.wikispaces.com/Exam+Revision) • You
will be writing an essay between 750-1,500 words in length. The “Works Cited”
section is NOT included in this total. • Choose a 72-hour (3 day) period convenient
for you to write your RooWriter essay. Once the 72-hour clock begins to count
down, it runs continuously even when you are offline. • Log in and confirm the
Reading Packet on which you will write your essay. CLICK ON “START ESSAY” – THE
CLOCK STARTS Review your essay prompt & draft your essay • If you are ready to
write, click on “Start Essay.” The 72-hour clock will now begin counting down. • An
essay prompt (essay question) based on your chosen Reading Packet will be
assigned to you and appear at the top of the essay page. You must write your essay
in response to this prompt. • At this point, we recommend you log out, and take
time to draft an outline of your essay off line. • Think about the prompt, and look
back at your mind map or concept map. You may want to revise the concept map. •
To help you see which of your ideas stand out, you may also want to try a wordle
(www.wordle.net) such as the following: The structure of your essay should include
• Your introduction with your central idea • The body of your essay, which is the
development, or the explanation of your ideas, with citations from the articles in
your Reading Packet • Citations from 3 or more articles in your Reading Packet as
they relate to your position on the topic (you may support or refute arguments
presented by the Reading Packet authors, but you may not use or cite outside
sources) • Explanations how the citations you include support your position, and • A
conclusion that summarizes your argument, and returns to your central idea with
new insight. WRITE YOUR ESSAY • Log in, and as the 72-hour period counts down,
type your essay in the RooWriter, using your prepared notes and draft. • You may
log out and log back in during that 72 hour period as you wish, but be sure to SAVE
your work each time. (Your work will also be auto-saved frequently.) On each return
login, you will be sent directly back to your essay page. • Read your essay as you
have typed it. Ask yourself: • Can I immediately see the central idea in what I have
written? • Do my ideas follow logically? (analysis) • Have I incorporated and
explained citations from the articles in my Reading Packet? • Is my argument
convincing? • Do I include transition words from one thought and/or paragraph to
another? • Does my conclusion not only summarize, but also return to my central
idea with new insight? (synthesis) • Is my grammar and my use of academic English
correct? (Check your spelling to confirm spell-check.) • Are my citations in the
correct format specified by my Reading Packet? Is my “works cited” page complete?
SUBMIT YOUR ESSAY • Check your work one last time. Remember: You must use the
citation style specified by your choice of Reading Packet. • NOTE that you are
blocked from starting a new essay more than once every two weeks (14 days). •
Before the 72 hours end, click SAVE and SUBMIT. When the time runs out, if for
some reason you failed to SUBMIT your essay and works cited page, the last autosaved version will be your submission.

MLA for the RooWriter
•
The following is a summary of MLA Style standards relevant to RooWriter
submissions. For other projects, please consult the MLA Style Manual and the
Writing Studio’s website for more comprehensive guidelines. Citing Sources “To
document” means to tell the reader the source of any material a writer uses in his or
her essay. Material needing documentation includes facts, statistical data, and ideas
as well as the words used to express such information. Writers need to document,
or cite, sources whether or not they are using the exact words of the original. If
using any of the exact words (even just a phrase), writers need to put quotation
marks around those words in addition to citing the source. Failure to use quotation
marks appropriately constitutes plagiarism. For prose, writers need to find the
author and page number of a work (Smith 76), but for poetry, writers need the
author and the line numbers (Poe 15-17). When working with dramas, writers need
to introduce the author in the text before a quotation and need to provide the play
title and line numbers in the parenthetical citation (Hamlet 15-17). MLA has special
rules for short and long quotes. Short Quotations (4 typed lines or less): Place the
quote within the text of the paper. Introduce the quote with a comma, and place the
period after the parenthetical citation. Use quotation marks to show all borrowed
material. Include author and page number. Block Quotations (More than 4 typed
lines): Place the quote one inch from the left margin, and omit quotation marks.
Introduce the quote with a colon, and place the period before the parenthetical
citation. Same author of multiple works: When this occurs, group the works by the
same author together, and alphabetize by the first word of the title. At the
beginning of the second and subsequent works, use three dashes instead of writing
the author’s name. Ex. – – -. In the paper, distinguish between the works by putting
the first few words of the title in the parenthetical citation before the page number.
No author: If no author is available, leave it out and alphabetize the works cited list
by the first key word in the title. (Key words do not include “A,” “An,” and “The.”) In
the paper, use the first key word of the title when citing. Ex. (Art 76). Missing
Information: If a piece of information for a works cited entry is not available, skip
that piece and move on to remaining information. Electronic sources often lack page
numbers. If the electric source uses paragraph numbers (par. or pars.) or screens
numbers (screens), use this information in place of a page number. For more
information, consult the MLA Handbook. Multiple authors: When citing multiple
authors internally, use a semicolon between internal citations. Ex. (Smith 45; Logan
22-23). Documents on Websites or in Databases: MLA Style uses the concept of
“containers” to discuss the holding location of a source. A databases generally is
considered a container, not a publisher; however, a website may be considered
primarily as a publisher depending on their role in the production of the source. For
instance, YouTube is typically considered to be a container for videos; however,
NASA could be both a publisher and a container for a video. View the MLA Center’s
“Works Cited: A Quick Guide” at https://style.mla.org for examples and more
information about this an other aspects of citing electronic sources.

APA for the RooWriter
•
The following is a summary of APA Style standards relevant to RooWriter
submissions. For other projects, please consult the APA Style Manual and the
Writing Studio’s website for more comprehensive guidelines. Citing Sources “To
document” means to tell the reader the source of any material a writer uses in his or
her essay. Material needing documentation includes facts, statistical data, and ideas
as well as the words used to express such information. Writers need to document,
or cite, sources whether or not they are using the exact words of the original. If
using any of the exact words (even just a phrase), writers need to put quotation
marks around those words in addition to citing the source. Failure to use quotation
marks appropriately constitutes plagiarism. APA style requires writers to place the
author’s last name, year of publication, and page number in parentheses
immediately after a quotation or the author’s last name and year of publication
before the quotation and the page number afterwards (see examples below). InText Citation Guidelines and Examples When referring to a study • As Kessler (2003)
found in his study… • Early onset of the disease is worse (Kessler, 2003). When
referring to two or more studies List in parentheses alphabetically by author’s last
name • Training materials are available (Gogel, 1990; Smith, 2001). When
paraphrasing & quoting specific info • Harrison (1990) argues that…to advance in the
military (p. 114). • However, “this book does not replace the Publication Manual”
(Szuchman, 1999, p. 4), and writers who are serious about their writing should own
both. When there are two authors for one source Use both authors’ last names
every time you quote • As Kurtines and Szapocznick (2003) demonstrate… •
(Kurtines & Szapocznick, 2003) When there are three to five authors for one source
Cite all authors the first time, first author and et al. afterwards • Kisangau, Lyaruu,
Hosea, and Joseph (2007) argue…Kisangau et al. (2007) argue… When there are six
or more authors Cite only first author and et al. When using a group author First
time, write out name; afterwards abbreviate if possible • According to the American
Psychological Association (2009)…(APA, 2009) When there isn’t an author Use quote
marks around the titles of articles, chapters, or webpages and italicize titles of
periodicals, books, reports, or brochures • …on free care (“Study Finds,” 2007).…In
College Bound Seniors (2008)… When citing a website without page numbers If
paragraph numbers are available, include them instead of page numbers • (Smith,
1999, para. 3) If paragraph numbers are not available, use the heading title and the
number of paragraphs following it • In their study, Verbunt, Pernot, and Smeets
(2008) found that “cockroaches are gross” (Findings, para. 2). Constructing and
Organizing Your References List sources alphabetically by the last name of the first
author of each source. When there is no author, alphabetize by title. Indent the
second line one-half inch for references that run over one line.
