Research article Writing - Requirements, some hints and suggestionsJeeva Theesar
I prepared this presentation for my students to give insight on writing a research article. The presentation gives details on requirements, some hints the procedure to be followed and suggestions to write a good manuscript.
Some of the texts are already presented in various research articles. I have given proper reference to it. In my experience, I have put my own suggestions towards writing a better article.

These are the WJEC English language writing exam layouts for an article, a report, a letter, a speech and a leaflet (does not include review). Each slide include examples and detail for each part of the layout. I made this because I struggled to find slides that actually showed how the type of writing should look on the paper, so I figured that others would find this helpful too.

Understanding a Constructivist
Prior to beginning this assignment, please review all the required readings, videos, and any relevant Instructor Guidance. It is suggested that you review the recommended resources for this week as a number of them may assist you in creating this written assignment with links to applicable articles.
Please note that for many of you, this might be the first time to write a paper about someone you have no current information about. Thus, it is very important that you know how to synthesize information so that it is your work, and not accidentally someone else’s. One suggestion as you begin to read about one of the researchers is to just jot down notes about them as you read. Be careful not to copy paste information into a document with intentions of re-writing it. Sometimes areas get forgotten and when your writing matches other sources, it can negatively affect not only your grade, but also your entire academic journey, so please heed this advice and ask for assistance from your instructor if you need it. Thus, we have included a link to a guide that could be very assistive in your success.
Over the past weeks, you have been introduced to Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism in relationship to learning psychology. To further expand your knowledge and understanding of Constructivism and its theoretical components/principles, in this paper you will research and write about one of the prominent constructivists listed below:

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Introduction/Thesis—15 pts
Hook: the very first sentence (s) of an essay,
intended to grab the reader's attention and stimulate
curiosity or strong emotions
● Think of how your topic applies to people in the real
world.
● Avoid falling into a “hook habit” by using the same
technique (famous quote, for example) in every
paper.
● Avoid dictionary definitions (not very interesting)
● http://toeflstar.com/?p=105 has great ideas!
3. Introduction/Thesis—15pts continued
Thesis Statement: a sentence or sentences that
provides a mini-outline of your essay
● Identify purpose (reason for writing). Ask
yourself “Why is this message important for
people to hear?”
View examples on p.14 of 40 Model Essays
*IMPORTANT: “to entertain” and “to
express” must be coupled with a more
specific purpose
● LIST points to be made in the body paragraphs
*Keep them in the same order as they will
appear in the body (this is “parallelism”)
4. Introduction/Thesis—15pts continued
● Provide necessary background information
– include any information that might help the
reader to better understand the topic
for example...
Historical details
Significant facts or statistics
Relevant current events
Explanation of anything that isn't general
knowledge (medical terms, legal jargon,
tools, etc)
Personal experience(s) that led up to your
selection of this topic
5. Body/Development—40 pts
● Each body paragraph should begin with a
topic sentence: a sentence that identifies the
main idea (point of focus) in the paragraph
● All paragraphs and related topic sentences
should help to develop the thesis statement
● Use plenty of detail and support in the body
paragraphs (a body paragraph should be
approximately ½ page when typed and double-
spaced)
● What is “support”? Facts, statistics, current or
historical events, personal life experiences,
expert opinion, related quotes, etc.
6. Body/Development—40 pts continued
● Organize the body paragraphs. Rather than
putting them in a random order, think about an
order that might be most effective
* http://toeflstar.com/?p=615 has great
ideas
● The entire essay should be 3-5 pages long
without padding (this means avoid statements
that merely reword how “interesting” something
is or how “wonderful” a writer is. Work to fill
the body paragraphs with meaningful support)
● Educate the audience on your topic. Use only
information that is truly meaningful. Avoid
repeating yourself or using dull details.
7. Conclusion—10 pts
● Show the importance of the thesis. This means
answering the question “so what?” (You have
communicated your message, but so what? What
will this communication accomplish?)
--How will this message affect readers and/or
the world in which we live?
--Will readers gain a better understanding of
something?
--Will readers change a behavior?
--Will readers make a choice?
8. Conclusion—10 pts continued
● DO NOT restate the entire introduction. Say
something different to keep the reader interested.
● Work to be persuasive. This is your last chance to
convince the reader of your purpose, so make it
count.
● DO reword the thesis statement purpose and list of
topics. Remember to keep those topics in the same
order as they appear in the body.
9. Style/Coherence—15 pts
● Use transitions, especially at the beginning of each
paragraph after the introduction. (See section 8e in
“The Writing Process” tab of The Everyday Writer
for details and examples)
● Use clear language. To insure this, read your paper
aloud. Ask a friend to read it aloud. Anything that is
even a bit difficult to understand should be revised
for clarity. (See sections 25-28 in the “Sentence
Style” tab of The Everyday Writer for details and
examples)
10. Style/Coherence—15 pts continued
● Use words appropriately. (See section 22 in the
“Language” tab of The Everyday Writer for further
explanation and examples.)
11. Style/Coherence—15 pts continued
● Keep sentence structure concise. (See section 28 in
the “Sentence Style” tab of The Everyday Writer for
further explanation and examples.)
--Eliminate “I phrases.” These are wordy phrases
that add nothing to the topic, such as “I think”, “I
feel”, or “In my opinion.” We assume this is your
opinion...your name is on the paper!
--avoid announcing parts of the assignment. “The
purpose of this paper is...” is an announcement.
Instead, begin with the actual purpose. “This paper
will focus on...” is an announcement.
● Use a variety of word choice. Find synonyms to
avoid repetition.
12. Grammar/Mechanics—15 pts
● Avoid general errors in grammar and mechanics.
Using grammar check or having another person
review for grammar errors can help. (See section 1
of the “About College Writing” tab in The Everyday
Writer for the most common errors.)
● Avoid pronoun reference errors and the word “you”
(See section 33g of the “Sentence Grammar” tab in
The Everyday Writer for specifics.)
● Use correct punctuation and spelling. Activating and
using “spell check” on your computer is a must.
● Omit typographical errors (typos). Read carefully
for this before submitting the final draft.
