This video suggests the following steps for researching a paper using the sfsu database. 1. identify some keywords in relation to your topic 2. select a certain database on which to do your research such as onesearch of even google scholar 3. search the database using your keywords and filtering out unwanted results such as scholar or non scholar articles 4. capturing an article which suits your needs

I like this idea that teachers and students alike rely on similar ways of writing and it isn't separate in this way

aso very relevant when looking through scientific texts

I not usually very good at using visual representations for writing tasks but this sounds really interesting

This is is very interesting to read about as I had not necessarily seen it put this way

I love that wikipedia is slowly being de villainized as it is now a huge database full of very accurate and accessible research and information and does not deserve to keep this reputation of being shoddily constructed

This I think is often not thought of enough within the scope of research

Very interesting to actually see the faculty writing this textbook, helps the reader relate

faulty education system, immigration hassles, culture assimilation etc

This is definitely true for me as I have a far more difficult time researching things which have no personal correlation

I am very much of this opinion, i love making presentations but not so much presenting them

reminiscent of this idea to let sort of pre-drawn formulas from high school go and better our writing

I really like this idea in essays to feel like something completes upon itself i think is really interesting

I have often seen this in the french form of writing essays but not so often in the american education so it's interesting to see the two merge

this is something I find very useful for scientific related things but don't really utilise outside of that field

these are really helpful as they are often the little details which slip my mind when focusing on the broader theme of the essay

while the purpose of a thesis statement is clear I sometimes find myself unsure of how to formulate them

while the evidence and analysis are pretty straight forward I often forget to include topic sentences

I wonder how different this is from what we had to write in high school

although somewhat familiar, I've never actually put these in practice when analysing essays so it would be interesting to know more about it

this reminds me immensely of the endless utterances of "your english is good for a foreigner" while I know that I would far surpass their knowledge of both their mother tongue and my own

being articulate is a culmination of dialects which intertwine and should never be hierarchised because as soon as they are you lose their value and their use which are truly precious

I really enjoy this genre of writing and find it really interesting to read too.

I do this, but also sometimes I find it useful to use the read aloud feature on pages to read it back to me. because often I will read it automatically without stopping to see what syntax is actually present in written form. and this feature allows me to hear immediately how tone and syntax actually flow

I think this idea of hierarchy in how to revise is one I haven't seen before but could be very useful in order to not get lost in the details

I think this is admirable but is also too harsh in some sense, i think by taking yourself out of the equation and treating your writing as if it was someone else could make it lose some of it's personal quality

I think I really abide by this logic, more often than not I won't have a single idea about what I will tell in my essays till I am halfway through writing them, and yes sometimes that leads to having to make a lot of revisions but I also think it leads to my best work

I think this is definitely very important but can also be difficult to do when you don't feel like the reviewers writing style matches your own I'd say

I have never seen this being done but I think it is quite an ingenious way to look at things although I am not convinced to its aid to the actual writing process

I love this idea, because I always found the idea of summarising all the points you just made redundant, especially in a shorter essays, so I think I want to incorporate this idea into my writing.

I of course have heard plenty about the need for outlines and drafts but I think I actually work better at least in narrative essays without this. I find I can connect much further with my work when not focusing on the structural aspect and then revisit that later

I think sometimes however especially when looking at dense scientific or literary works this can easily turn into frustration and it can be difficult to see it as a room for improvement instead of failure

Yes but also both of these skills often build on each other in order to attain their goals, while the annotation might not the the same often there will be a similarity of if not in content in techniques or symbols

I think the first part of being a good writer is having that vocabulary available to you to best interpret your thoughts because precise vocabulary is key when getting your message across to other readers of your work

I think this adds an element to reading beyond the story which determines far more then people think. often if the writing style is too foreign to me or too jumbled even if the plot itself is wonderful it just wont stick

for me this is a crucial step to understanding, even if tracing words on an ipad I need that tactile writing element to help my memory and understanding

I think at least in the way I see writing, this is crucial for me to truly engage with the topic

This can also lead to students getting false expectations for further learning

this is often just the fault of the education they've received about literature and not an accurate depiction of the enjoyment they could have

it also puts children into the strict categories of good test taker and bas test taker, because while one kid might be able to regurgitate the knowledge for a quiz another kid might be able to actually show you how to put that knowledge into action but not do multiple choice so which is better in the end.

I think to some extent this should be the basis for all education

this mindset is often one I've encountered and is definitely so an effective strategy for learning in an intelligent way

by connecting our work to our personal experiences I find it becomes far more motivating and relevant

this is a key question because it allows us to look not only at the material itself but how we as people perceive it

labels are said to give you a platform to fight behind but in truth often further categorize and divide instead
