“How long is it going to take me to write this paper? “ my students often ask me. I always an-swer: “For a ten-page assignment, budget 2 hours per page for research and 1 hour per page for writing and revising. You’ll need to carve 30 hours out of your life for the next few weeks.” Their faces fall. Then I ask my follow up question: “How would you like to write this paper in about half the time?”

What is the ENC method ?

It’s a method that will equip you to manage data, quotes, facts, ideas, and even your own ideas so you can later incorporate them into a paper. This is a fast, electronic means of managing note cards both for the collecting and the retaining of material for a paper. With the ENC method, you capture im-portant information and ideas--even your own--in order to later integrate them into an extended research paper of any length for college or high school. It’s faster, it’s more accurate, and it frees the writer to focus more on the substance of writing rather than the distraction of manag-ing data for footnotes. The ENC method was developed by the author when she was a graduate student at the University of West Florida. Later, as an instructor, she was chal-lenged by her students who wanted to learn her “secret weapon.” This book was written for them in a casual, non-academic tone. It comes with an easy reference card and step by step instructions for researching a paper in the traditional bib card/note card method as well as the ENC method, which saves 40% -50% of the writer’s time.

ENC 4 CW: Electronic Notecards for Creative Writing

“Beth Rodgers’ savvy ENC4ENC: Electronic Note Cards mini-

manual is a gem. She gives freshman composition students

a refreshingly clear method for organizing and conducting

library and electronic database research. Moreover, Rodg-

ers’ strategy helps relieve student anxiety about doing re-

search papers. She reassuringly takes students by the hand

and walks them through the process, one

logical step at a time. Rodgers’ warm

presence and sense of humor give this

booklet an appealing bounce, too.

I highly recommend ENC4ENC for the

freshman composition classroom.”
