Thank you Tara! I am your big fan from China. I studied Mechanical Engineering in China, and transferred to Engineering Education in the UK. Writing was extremely difficult for me as I had never written professionally in English, I could not pick up the exact vocabulary that fits into the context, neither could I manage my logic flows as I was never trained in a western system about critical writing/ debates. I want to say what you have introduced was so inspiring, I had a lot of reflections on similar experiences, and I had struggles as a foreign learner, too. But now I think I should not 'build the wall' myself, and it must be very rewarding to focus on everyday deliberate practice, develop appreciation for my lifetime professional artwork of writing! Thanksss, love from CHN
You are indeed a graet teacher. You have just demystified academic writing in these two episodes . I just want to say thank you for a job well done. More grace.
PUT your life around your writing, be patient and daily practise, and make the originality in every instance and phase of writing on highlighting why you are and what you write so that this makes the significance...
thanks,,, dr. Tara... you are really working hard, just to give us very important and useful information... thank you again ... I am recently struggling with writing and it is all because of wrong ideas associated with it,,, like it is an art, infact it is just a craft as you just said...
Tara, you are absolutely fabulous! Thank you so much for these videos. I am forever passing the links on to PhD students. This is terrific advice and well worth listening to.
Thank you for this fabulous vlog! This will benefit students such as myself by drastically improving our academic writing. I am so fortunate to have recently discovered this for the following academic year.
Brilliant, Incredible, Awesome---- I do not have words to release my Ecstacy upon how I truly enjoyed this teacher and her teaching.. It is like experiencing a stage drama- that is involving every taste and pleasure, yet this makes a big change within its audiences.
I love the headings idea. I'm going to implement it. I've done something similar in the past but never as systematically as you propose. I'm always feeling like my paper is not as focused as it could be (despite being an underwriter).
God bless you thanks for your wisdom. I'm a undergrad looking for some tips and I saw your video. I was blessed by the content now to applying the info. I'm going to read books of my interest as well as academic books and articles. Once again, thank you and May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you with peace and grace.
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowlege and wisdom for free. You're a gift to the academic world. Please continue sharing generously. Blessings.
This has come at such a good time for me- I really needed to hear about cutting 'yet, however' and use more bridging- the music reference was gold!! Thank you for continued public dissemination of your knowledge! ^_^
As an EFL student, I find this video very beneficial. To learn something you have to practice it. Indeed, writing is a craft that is learnt through practice and patience. Thank you dear Tara for these useful information.
Thank you Tara for this instalment in the academic writing trilogy. I noticed that some of the suggestions that you made have been a central component of some earlier vlogs, with ideas carrying through to this one at number 231. Great vlog. Again thank you, Doug.
Thank you for this! Please expand on your suggestion about the relationship with a librarian. This sounded like it was super useful for you but I do not how to utilise such a relationship. I would not know how to start one, develop one or how one could help me.
UA-cam notifications - a wonderful thing (also, the only notifications I allow on my phone)! Saving for this evening - however, you've sucked me in already TB - I am eager to know your 20 tips... 💥💥💥
Academic writing and workplace writing are so different. Any tips for how to get my head in these two different places? Thank you so so much for your wonderful tips and enthusiastic presentations
Some pertinent advice here but it leaves me wondering why universities don’t offer complete units on academic writing. Surely it is more logical to teach these skills from the outset, especially if the aim of a university education is to transform a student into a professional writer. The current system of handing out little snippets of advice in class and then expecting students to decipher rubrics and craft their work accordingly leaves a lot to be desired. The content of this video is so valuable I feel it should be expanded into an undergraduate unit suitable for all disciplines. Imagine the time it would save down the track, when PhD supervisors wouldn’t need to waste their time teaching candidates academic writing 101!
Mystifier - good afternoon. Thank you so much for your message. I will take you up on this one. I'll try to craft this into a book as soon as I can - and create a seminar series. Thank you for your support and advice - always. txxx
Office of Graduate Research Flinders University this is the best news I’ve received all day. How exciting!! I’m subscribing to your channel and will eagerly await the release of your tome 😊
Many thanks for the great conten? - what is the difference between orginality, significance, contribution, gap, novelity, innovation, - does the 95,000 include everthing including referencing, table of contents, list of figures, etc.
As always, chock full of great advice - and a dash of humor and personality! What was the secret you practiced to get a better risotto? Thanks again Dr. Brabazon!
Such a great vlog with so many great tips! Right now (literally) I'm using headings to organise my writing and trying to carry my references to someplace meaningful!! ^_^
I sincerely wish I found this channel sooner. Tara is a gift to any academic who is looking for solid, sincere advice and that might not have the right support system around them.
madam, your information was awesome, thank you very much. Can you guide me the best training programs on scientific training programs on scientific writing? and sources of finding training for writing techniques. Waiting for your replay.
Please help. Sometime when writing or reading my article i'm so focused on idea that i can't see some mistakes. It there a solution to avoid mistakes.Thanks
@@officeofgraduateresearchfl9343 Thank you for your kind reply, Ms Tara! And let me just say this: I absolutely love your accent; it is fabulous!

Thank you so much, Tara! Your examples and liveliness have made an essential, hard-to-digest academic topic come alive.

This is so much better the second time around, Professor Tara. Spot on!
(I suspect that I will watch it again.)
Tara you are a legend. The glamour and the positive energy and the rigour. So appreciate you telling it like it is.
Really great one. Thank you especially for the tip on prioritising writing every week. Practice is the best form of learning, after all.
You're such a great teacher. Thank you for these vlogs.
PUT your life around your writing, be patient and daily practise, and make the originality in every instance and phase of writing on highlighting why you are and what you write so that this makes the significance...
"It's a privilege to take innovative ideas and move them to an audience and maybe just change their lives!" Amazing. WOW.
Best video I've seen till date in this topic. Every word is a wisdom. Beautifully tailored video.
It is a great presentation that will change my life.
You get me, Tara, every single time I watch the last 25 seconds. Brilliant!
