Overall the advice about making my paper stronger with different choosing different words and how to more effectively place my questions. I understand that my paper needs work and I really appreciate knowing where I can improve.I also liked that Megan recommended a few articles I could use because that was my biggest issue.
2. What was the least effective piece of advice you received? Explain.
At one part of my paper I was told to use quotations when stating something directly from the article. I feel as if I did do just that and may need her to explain it a little more so I can understand where I went wrong.
3. What questions do you have about Megan's comments?
- You mentioned that in academic papers I should use formal language. What ways can I ensure that my words are formal and does that only apply to nouns?
- When I consider my third article is it okay that I not go into depth about my third article if it is not as long as my first two article?
4. What are your plans for revision? Be specific.
My first step is to make the grammatical changes such as word choice and finding ways to start sentences in different ways. I also plan on finding a third article and trying to connect it to my thread that I already have.
1. Using formal language means to write like an academic. Basically, you need to make sure that your writing doesn't sound conversational.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, it is okay to talk more about two out of three articles as long as the third one is represented in some ways too.
