- Do you worry about researching for an essay or piece of writing? For emerging scholars, writers and entrepreneurs, perfecting the craft of efficient and effective researching is an essential component of productivity and professional development. Unfortunately, many universities and educational institutions fail to guide and train their students in this crucial skill. In this video, I share with you some helpful rules, skills, and resources for writers, graduate students and entrepreneurs who are interested in developing their research skills and learning how to research productively.

Oh my god that's hilarious! You're right!🤣

When I was at university my dissertation supervisor told me to "start writing..... Just write and stop the research" as I was overwhelmed by researching and was convinced I still hadn't researched enough. My supervisor was so right. I just needed to actually make a start and the rest would take care of itself. Turned out I loved writing my dissertation.
Learning when to stop researching is indeed as important a skill as learning how to research. My supervisor said this to me, and I often have to say it to my grad students.
this is really helpful as im a third year and basically always spend too long researching lol
@@imanf1700 I'm betting you're a perfectionist.
@@sambailie4773I know that I am a perfectionist and it can be debilitating.
I wish I knew this while at uni. They didn't teach us anything about researching back then.
They still don’t.
Luis Baez I agree!! You pay to get educated but ended up teaching yourself instead.
@@nellydelacruz9455 "I pay thousands of dollar to teach myself" is pretty much college
They still don't. That's why I'm here.
@@Johanyohann THIS.
This is a very good video Cinzia! I totally agree, especially when you say that researching and writing an essay isn't about being the most original indie academic but rather about demonstrating a deep primary understanding of your text! I wish I would have had this video when I myself started studying!
Thanks so much, Luke (:
I’m so glad I found this before going to Uni, I research loads anyway for fun and have since I was about 12, but I do find tips useful and like writing essays about the topics. Thanks, this was really helpful, I’ll definitely stick around your channel!
I'm SO glad that there is someone like you putting out material like this!
literally bless your soul- i've been freaking abt my bg research essay and this gave me some direction to go. i dont think i can thank you enough
So glad to find videos like these. My parents and older gens always talk about learning to research in high school but we were never taught. Just how to google a question. Then when I got to college and was expected to know how I was and still am kinda lost
I'm so tired of spending ages on projects and then procrastinating because I'm anxious about how long they'll take. Loving these tips and your pretty background! Thank you! :)
this is incredibly useful to me as an english undergrad student. thank you Cinzia!! would love to see more like it :)
I’m so glad, Sofia! Thank you, best of luck at uni 😊
Cinzia DuBois Thank you!💕
i've been struggling with this for years, and am so glad to have found this video! i literally cried when u said it is perfectly normal to be in that situation! thank you for the video!
Hey, are school assignments stressing you up? Having trouble juggling classes with work/life? Send me an email, and I will help you out. (maryjoykimmy@gmail.com). Do it and you'll never have to worry about good grades or deadlines ever again. (maryjoykimmy@gmail.com).
This video honestly beats many of the workshops and courses I was assigned in uni about effective researching. I love how to-the-point and focused your approach is (15 mins, I'll remember that!) I will be starting my PhD soon, and I am nervous as hades, but I can say it's been great discovering your channel and writing, and I am looking forward to learning more about your literary journey. Love, MK.
Wow, thank you so much, Maryline! That's great to hear. I'll get the rest of this series up soon (: Best of luck with your PhD. x
thank you for the video😊 i just spent the whole weekend researching my topic went into a rabbit hole... got so stressed and overwhelmed with alot of journals i went through with zero results. This helped me alot. thank you
This was so clear and useful! Yes to all the other potential videos you mentioned! Thank you for your work x
Yay! I'm so glad you liked it Irene (: Thank you x
So true! All my years as a student and working in higher education, this skill was woefully under-served
To get through my bachelor’s, I had to learn to write without relying on research. To read my annotated bibliography, then forget about it. It helped me to mentalize and direct my research in the direction I wanted it to go. If I researched and then changed as I went along, I would fear plagiarizing again. That being said, that was where my writing was leaning toward in grad school.
I couldn't agree more with your intro. Spot on. I told my mother inlaw today im researching how to research.
My college requires an English class called 'college writing and research' which went pretty in depth with how to research your papers. It was definitely helpful, but I think if it hadn't been reinforced by the other classes that I took (additional English classes) that I would be quite lost when I move onto university. I can't imagine that being the only class that I took that talked about it, but I know that's the case for a lot of students.
I still found some really helpful points here, though, and I look forward to checking out the rest of your series. I REALLY liked that you focused on being efficient and effective when doing your research. That is something my research and writing class didn't really focus on . . . They focused a lot on finding sources in the first place, but I remember feeling super bogged down by all the content I was finding and feeling like I needed to read all of it so those are definitely things to keep in mind.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment! I'm glad you've had so much support, but still pleased I could help a little too (:
00:00-00:15 how relatable that is me. So overwhelmed I want to just throw in the towel.
Thank you so much for making this video!! It’s really super helpful! I was never trained systematically on how to conduct research so I always did it based on my own assumption. Glad to know I actually did something right and even more glad to get really useful advice from you!
Thank you so, so much, Zoe 😊❤️
Hello
This is such a helpful video! I can't wait for other videos in this essay writing/research series! I think it would be interesting if you demonstrated how to outline a paper before writing as well
Also it would be helpful to learn how to spot gaps in your own work. when i read my essay back to myself, it makes sense to me but then a professor will mark down any gaps in my research. the professor's comments make sense afterwards, i'm just hoping to have some sort of method that better finds these gaps before i submit!

Really helpful, thank u! Stop me from over archiving and just start writing my essay as my research
Really enjoyed this video and can’t wait for the next ones!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you (:
'How to Write an Effective Essay' can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/CKcQSes3Je8/v-deo.html
Thankyou so much! This video was so helpful and now I feel I can finish my research paper with a plan!!!😁
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped :D
Lot of Books behind your background, I love it! Keep it up ma'am!
I feel so dumb when it comes to research! I don't know why but I have a really hard time knowing where to start, and how to find more information . . the main research 'habit' (if you could call it that) is simply just asking google the question, but many times that can be hard find what I need and I want to change that! Being able to find your own information and do valuable research is such an important skill for everything, its definitely something I could improve upon!
Wonderful! I will be starting my masters degree soon and I am so happy I found your channel!❤
great advices! never considered writing the essay whilst researching it but will consider it in my next one :)
Thank you! I'll be working on that video for a few weeks time so hopefully that will help you explore that method (:
I am at the uni right now, and doing my assessment, I am crying for
You are the best and from now i will take your ideas to become an excellent student in research
All the best
Will watch all your videos dear
Very helpful, thank you.
This is the first video, article, book etc, that actually addressed my problems. Over researching actually did me well for once lol
Thanks for your research review video.
That introduction resulted in a very satisfying exhale, I really did think it was just me
I finished an essay yesterday, have one already late and one due tomorrow. This is the exact moment I needed this!
Ty I’ve never had to research so this was helpful
This is a great video! Thank you for making it.
Thanks so much, Autumn! Glad it was helpful (:
it is my first time to see u.
although my english is not strong enough , i can understand totally.
and thank you.
thanks so much for the video!
this is helpful, thank you
Pro tip: Write your essay WHILE your research! Best tip ever.
I eagerly subscribed to your second channel before realizing that it hasn't any content. 'Sup with that.
No one watched the videos on my second channel so I uploaded all of the second channel videos to this channel.
@@CinziaDuBois oh good. I'm glad you didn't delete anything! Excited to explore your content.
Very effective and productive Stretegies , I always looking for....
This is so helpful :)! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Write WHILE you research?! I'v never tried this but oh my goodness does it make sense. Implementing that now.
thank you! this helped me so much :)
You're so welcome!
Im a freshman in highschool and our school makes us do a mini high school thesis before our junior and senior year, i have 2 months to do it and i have no idea where to start. And now im here 😅
Wish I had this in grad school! Though writing as you research doesn’t work for everyone (by god, I tried), at least outline and make crappy paragraphs full of notes.
This is the most helpful video of my whole life thank you so much
Glad it helped

Researching how to research for my research assignment literally

No problem :D
I am a shit reader and writer and struggle so much 😭 in the last year of degree and hoping for a miracle. Just hoping I'll find some good stuff to read
Don't under estimate urself dude!
Did you start your research paper?
@@DJam-fs1sm Hi I have started it yes so far it's not too bad.

@@daley72003 you can do it just keep trying to find a way
Brilliantly done🥃
Introduction was epic
Thank you this video is so helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I love this may God bless you
Hey have u released your video on how to read an essay/paper about write your essay as u research. Would love to know more about this
Great tips.
A lot of your videos are titled with questions that can be answered by 'Billy' Eduard Albert Meier (BEAM) & The Plejaren. Billy Meier is 86 years old and has written over 60 books (all German, some of them bilingual, with German on the left side and English on the right). There are people who spend everyday of their lives studying his material, which collectively is called "The Spiritual Teaching." He also has contact reports with the Plejaren, which has lasted for decades and will continue until the year 2029.
I have a theory that all writing is a type of or is story & communication & asking & answering the Who what where when which why how lie at the base of writing learning etc ,what is it / what is it not about any person place thing idea time event etc .great vid thanks.
I like the concept!
thank you mam stay blessed love,respect
Thank you! You as well (:
mam you are the best teacher I like your video thank you so much
This is a five year old video yet the first 30 seconds describes me at this very moment!
Thank you.
Problem I have is when I input what I need such as analysis of threats for e-commerce nothing relevant to cyber security comes up lol. Like nothing, mostly business related stuff that don't talk about any threats at all. Mostly websites do and they aren't good enough I need journals, completely messed up my diss proposal and I'm dreading starting the dissertation in January
What are the differences between primary and secondary sources again?
Good insight 👌
I'm WAY OFF the target audience for your video, as a middle schooler who is in (almost) all aspects clueless about his future. I write for fun, and love getting into research.
In your essay video, you said "I should write every essay as though I'm writing a letter to a dear friend who has no bloody clue what I'm talking about." I talk... plenty to my friends about my near obsessions and rabbit hole descents that take up much of my time: David Bowie, silent films, ABBA, Federico García Lorca (that's a new one!), Ouran High School Host Club, Oscar Wilde, and tidbits of history/pop culture. I want to take the next step further by introducing these extraordinary people, projects, and events to more than just half-interested circles in my small school. And writing is one of the ways I will express these topics. To do so, I'll have to change my approaches to non-fiction writing. I'm a very disorganized but passionate thinker. Your tip about writing and researching really stood out to me, and I find most of your tips helpful, so I've taken the time to jot down your advice in my notebook. I hope to fill the rest of the pages with my stories, essays, and drawings that will (hopefully) bring others as much happiness as they bring me.
Thank you! And one day I might use the college advice, too.
Thanks for this video, hope you make the videos about argumentation in research and how to read research papers.
I will! So glad you found it useful (:
How am I supposed to have a semi-original concept if I have to go off of other, more informed people's writings who have access to the latest findings in the field before I ever could?
Learning how to learn
Imma goin to do archeology
yesss i'm on 8th grade and god I'm having a rough time with my hw
relateable.
Hey...Can you tell how to use the synopsis you mentioned for knowing about the essay
Hey, just wondering why you hid most of your videos related to university tips? This video is excellent and I would've liked to watch more.
The awkward moment when you realize that you don’t even know how to research, but you are actually researching how to do it...
Hello beautiful girl 🙋🏻♂️
You look exactly like my professor
She loves to say “ but that will be in another video”
Instead of a Spotify wrapped I need a JSTOR wrapped lol
THANKS
You're welcome!
Why didn't I know about Google Scholar before starting my dissertation?! Now I'm sad :(
i was good at the writing part but my facts and reserch was always inacurate and not at all related to my topic. even though i was not accurate i still had my class attention by fabricating my own hystory using some facts and dates i got off the internet it was funny because i could have mislead a uneducated person but my class was good at noticing i was a fictional master using distorted history.
It's fine base my academic research on other academy research? In Google schoolars i only find academic research since i can't afford buying a book or analysis
Where can I find the video about writing as I am researching?
Went to second channel and it has no content. ?
I find my self researching how to research.... is tough guys
Nice info
Thank you 😊
i am doing my own personal reserch on dog behaviours and breed traits. as well as training a service dog or therapy bog. i was concerned on how much of the information on the internet can be fake or reliable. i just wanted to know how to spot unreliable sources and my reserch led me hear. i must be doing something right. right?
I take it the follow up video never came out.
Cant seem to find it
You just need to do more research 😂
It is out now, but I'm afraid I took a hiatus from UA-cam which is why it took so long. Sorry it never came in time

Please help me for my topic what are the challenges and solutions for marketing of digital era
been staring at a blank page for weeks😆.
Use search engines that are not backed by corporate interests and don't get paid by your data history.
I’m wanting to start Uni but just listening this is giving me anxiety 😥
Oh come on, dont back off bc of other people's experiences or stories. I would totally still go bc you'll get a lot more in return ;)
How can you limit the research?
frozen is my usual state
Hi, are you still going to add content for your personal development channel?
No, this is my personal development channel now (:
Suppose you did proper research and have everything you need. How do you keep track of everything you read?
Create a spreadsheet and document everything you've read, what you're currently reading (and what page you're reading) and what you want to read.
I didn't know this was something to be ashamed of until you told me not to be.😭😭😭
