Research Writing Question Posing Most college assignments ask you to pose a question worth exploring, to read widely in search of possible answers,

10、to interpret what you read, to draw reasoned conclusions, and to support those conclusions with valid and well-conducted evidence. Admittedly, the process takes time: time for researching and time for drafting, and documenting the paper in the style recommended by your instructor. Before beginning a

11、 research project, you should set a realistic schedule of deadlines. 1) Take the colleges library tour and get familiar with computer search tools. 2) Pose a research question and plan a search strategy. 3) Find sources 4) Read and take notes. 5) Decide on a tentative thesis and outline. 6) Draft th

12、e paper. 7) Visiting the writing instructor to get help with ideas for revision. 8) Do further research if necessary. 9) Revise the paper. 10) Prepare a list of works cited. 11) Type and proofread the final draft. Notice that this has to be budged more than a week for drafting and revising the paper

13、. Its easy to spend too much of your available time gathering sources; make sure you allow a significant portion of you schedule for drafting and editing your work. Working within the guidelines of your assignment, pose a few questions that seem worth researching. As you formulate possible questions

14、, make sure that they are appropriate lines of inquiry for a research paper. Choose questions that are narrow or specific (not too broad), realistic or problem-solving and grounded (not too speculative).II. Writing Strategies 1) Appropriate resourcesA search strategy is a system for tracking down so

15、urces. To create a search strategy appropriate for your research question, ask yourself two questions: - What kind of resources should I draw on? - In what order should I conduct my search? Before you start your search, consider what information you will need and where you are likely to find it. If

16、your research question addresses an English teaching problem, for example, you might look at reference works, books, scholarly articles (in print or online). In addition, take a look at your textbooks, that is, books by authors who are experts in their fields, specialized reference works (not just g

17、eneral encyclopedias), and articles in scholarly or technical journals (not just popular magazines). When in doubt about the kinds of sources you are expected to consult, check with your instructors. 2) Order of search Often a good search strategy moves from sources that give you an interview of you

18、r subject to those that supply you with more specialized information. Some general reading will familiarize you with the ways in which scholars or debaters are framing issues related to your topic. Once you understand the intellectual or social context of your topic, you will be prepared to focus yo

19、ur search more narrowly. Resources to consider when creating a search strategy: Library sources- general and specialized reference works- books- articles in scholarly journals- periodicals- audiovisual materials Track down relevant Internet sources- searching by category using searching engines like

20、 , or . - searching by keywords- using meta search engines.III Evaluating sources1. previewing techniques(1) previewing a book_ scan the front and back covers for any information about the books scope and its authors credentials._ glance through the table of contents, keeping your research question

21、in mind._ skim the preface in search of a statement of the authors purposes._ use the index, look up a few words related to your research question._ if a chapter seems useful, read its opening and closing paragraphs and skim any headings._ consider the authors style and approach. For example, does t

22、he style suggest enough intellectual depth for your purpose? (2) previewing an article_ consider the publication in which the article is printed. For example, is the publisher reputable? Who is the target audience of the publication? _ for a journal article, look for an abstract or a statement of a

23、purpose at the beginning; also look for a summary at the end.(3) preview a web site_ browse the home page. Do its contents and links seem relevant to your research question?_ consider the reputation, credibility, and motive of the sites author. Is the site reputable enough to consider for further ev

24、aluation?_ Check to see if there is a note about when the site was last updated. For a current topic, some sites maybe outdated.2. Reading with an open mind and critical eye3. Managing information(1) maintain a working bibliography Keep a record of any sources that you decide to consult. You will ne

25、ed this record, called a working bibliography, when you compile the list of works cited that will appear at the end of the paper. 1) For books_ call number_ all authors; any editors or translators_ titles and subtitles_ edition _ publication information: city, publishing company, and date 2) For per

26、iodical articles_ all authors of the article_ title and subtitle of the article_ date and page numbers_ volume and issue numbers, if relevant 3) For Internet sources_ all authors, editors, compilers, or translators of the text._ title of the site or discussion list name_ author, editor, or compiler

27、of the web site or online database_ date of publication (or latest update) if available_ any page or paragraph numbers_ date you visited the siteCaution: Punctuation, spelling, and sometimes even capitalization must be exact to access Internet cite, to ensure accuracy, you may wish to cut and paste

28、the address from your browser into a computer file.(2) Managing information systematically This is a crucial matter, for if any exact language from your sources finds its way into your final draft without quotation marks and proper documentation, you will be guilty of plagiarism, a serious academic

29、offense. You will discover that it is amazingly easy to borrow too much language from a source as you take notes. Do not allow this to happen. You are guilty of the academic offense know as plagiarism if you half-copy the authors sentences - either by mixing the authors phrases with your own without

30、 using quotation marks or by plugging your synonyms into the authors structure. To prevent unintentional borrowing, resist the temptation to look at the source as you take notes - except when you are quoting. Keep the source close by so you can check for accuracy, but dont try to put ideas in your o

31、wn words with the sources sentences in front of you. There are three kinds of note taking: summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting. As you take notes, be sure to include exact page references, since you will need the page numbers later if you use the information in your paper. A summary condenses inf

32、ormation, perhaps reducing a chapter to a short paragraph or a paragraph to a single sentence. A summary should be written in your own words; if you use phrases from the source, put them in quotation marks. Like a summary, a paraphrase is written in your own words; whereas a summary reports signific

33、ant information in fewer words than the source, a paraphrase retell the information in roughly the same number of words. If you retain occasional choice of phrases from the source, use quotation marks so you will know later which phrases are your own. A quotation consists of the exact words from a s

34、ource. In your notes, put all quoted material in quotation marks; do not trust yourself to remember later which words, phrases, and passages you have quoted and which are your own. When you quote, be sure to copy the words of your sources exactly, including punctuation and capitalization.IV Abstract

35、 Writing1. Function Preceding the whole dissertation, an abstract is characteristically a short, concise, straightforward, and highly generalized text. It is a mini-version or a miniature of a document, summarizing the content of the main body. Literally, the abstract is regarded as the most importa

36、nt component of a professional paper owing to its unique functions, particularly in the information age, as the abstract serves as a useful tool in search for information, enables readers to identify the basic content of a document more quickly and conveniently, to determine its relevance to their i

37、nterest, and finally to decide whether it is worthwhile to read the whole text.2. Length Normally, 200 words are a sensible maximum for a relatively long paper or a report, but never 500 words; 50-100 may suffice for a short article. The length of an abstract strictly varies depending on the length of the paper a
