Ms Chelsea, I was struggling on my first Graduate level Research Topic two page narrative. I'm using Turabian version 9 format but, I gained the essential background I needed from a few of your videos allowing me to complete that task and am now looking forward to scaffolding my research writing skills.
Great discussion! One additional point I'd offer, as a professor of rhetoric: The "road map" at the end of your introduction (which, incidentally, should also come back at the start of your conclusion as a summary of your paper's argument) should really, well.. "map out" the main points / sections of your paper, in the order you discuss them. If your thesis is the primary claim your paper makes, then the 2-4 main points that the Body of your paper discusses are the primary supporting rationale for that claim. So, the "road map" of thesis and main points might sound something like this: "I contend that [your paper's main claim / conclusion regarding your topic]. To demonstrate this point, this essay will cover three key points: A, B, and C."
Hi there! Great insight - that's exactly the goal I try to convey to students when writing an introduction. And you're spot on about the conclusion! The purpose of the roadmap in the intro is to guide the reader into the paper through the objectives you'll be addressing. While the purpose of the roadmap in a conclusion is to draw the reader out with what you discovered about those objectives, in the order you discovered them. Thanks for your support of this channel!
Hi, can you please suggest any book(s)/article(s)/video(s) which help us to learn how to write a research article(s)? Of course, learning about research methodologies, data analyses, etc., are important; however, not knowing how to write/present the literature review, findings, discussions, etc., is even more important. P.S. Thanks for your hard work in developing such informative videos for us.
