3 What if I m still using the sixth edition? You can still use the Web site for the sixth edition. You can get there two ways: 1. Use the direct URL: You may bookmark this site for your convenience. 2. You can also link to the sixth edition site from the seventh edition site. See the link on the left side of the page. Except for the new URL, the sixth edition site is unchanged. Page 3 of 11
4 Note for exercise users: Data from the sixth edition site (such as student exercise results) are not accessible through the seventh edition site. Users of A Writer s Reference, Seventh Edition, can still access the sixth edition site in one of the ways noted on page 3. Instructors teaching with the sixth edition site can still access their students scores on that site. Do the new exercises function like the others? As on the Web site for A Writer s Reference, Sixth Edition, students must log in to complete exercises. For instructors to have access to students scores, students must record their instructor s e mail address with their student profile. Students will be prompted to enter this information when they log in. What s new for instructors? Visit hackerhandbooks.com, our new Web site dedicated to providing instructors with information and ideas from author Nancy Sommers, other teachers of writing, and the Hacker handbooks editors at Bedford/St. Martin s. You ll find Teaching with A Writer s Reference (Tab T in the instructor s edition of A Writer s Reference, Seventh Edition) and Teaching with Hacker Handbooks available for download. Instructor resources are protected so that students cannot gain access to them; instructors must log in to access these resources. Have the exercise numbers changed? Some exercise numbers have changed. The changes are detailed in the following chart, with numbers and titles of new exercises in bold.
