I am happy to bring out this book titled “A Teachers Inner Voice” which is a compilation my articles from all the twelve issues of the monthly newsletter “Computer Science Faculty”. Every article was a reflection of faculty community’s inner voice, whenever I want to address some faculty issues, I will always find someone in my group who has already experiencing it tell me what it was. I use to follow my heart, listen to my inner voice and understand its relevance and applicability in reality because Non-judgment quiets the internal dialogue, and this opens once again the doorway to creativity and that’s how every month the article was been presented. I strongly believe in opinions, we meet new people every day who have something to give us. Different people have different opinions, and I respect all of them.

Researching Your Speech
What Is Research?
Libraries and Librarians are Our FriendsLibrarians have many tricks and shortcuts up their sleeves to make hunting for information easier and faster.Interacting with librarians and using libraries effectively is the first step to good research.
17 Strategies to Work
With LibrariansA research librarian is extremely knowledgeable about information sources.You can learn from a librarian and increase your own research skills.When on reference desk duty, the librarian is available to help; present yourself in person.A librarian can teach you, but can’t make excuses for late work.If a librarian is already helping someone else, wait your turn.
Strategies cont.When a librarian helps you find sources, have the courtesy to look at them.Research is a process, not an event; allow sufficient time.The librarian can’t do the work you’re supposed to be doing toward your own grade.Reference librarians are professional, highly educated information specialists; ask your “stupid” question.Good research takes time, and interacting with the librarian takes time.
Strategies cont.Students should expect reasonable questions from the librarian, such as: “Where have you looked so far?” “Have you been to a library workshop before?”Students should approach a librarian sooner rather than later.If you don’t have a well-defined topic to research, bring a copy of the assignment to show the librarian.
Strategies cont.Most academic librarians will give in-depth consultations to students by appointment.Students should be as specific as possible in what they ask for.Many research questions do not have ready-made or one-stop answers.Information comes in varying formats.
Research is Fun and UsefulYou get to ask questions and actually find answers.Research can open a world you never knew existed.Research can lead you to new ideas and activities.A scholarly investigation into a topic in order to discover, revise, and/or report facts, theories, and applications.
Three Functions of ResearchDiscovering occurs when people conduct some kind of study and find something completely new.Revision occurs when people revise existing facts, theories, and applications.Reporting happens after you accumulate information about a topic and report it to others.
Three End Results of ResearchA fact is a truth that is arrived at through the scientific process.A theory is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon.Researchers often look for new applications for something that already exists.
Primary ResearchResearch that is carried out to discover or revise facts, theories and applications, and is reported by the person conducting the research; it is active and creates new knowledge.
Types of Primary Research
Surveys or QuestionnairesSurveys or questionnaires you conduct are a type of primary research in which you collect facts, figures, or opinions. For a survey, you should ask four questions:Do you know what you want to ...

Assignment GoalThe goal of the assignment is to strengthen scienwiddowsonerica
Assignment Goal
The goal of the assignment is to strengthen scientific thinking and writing. The
objective is for each student to write an objective, logical, fact-based paper using
evidence from high quality scientific research sources.
Topics
In general terms, your paper can examine selected consequences of social
inequality. Throughout your textbook, the author presents examples of how social
class impacts the lives of people. Some obvious examples are health, including
mental and physical illness, or parent’s social class and children’s educational
attainment. Each of the chapters on the major social classes examines the behaviors
and consequences of that class. Your paper could explore on of these issues in
greater detail. We are also seeing that race and gender are deeply interrelated with
social inequality. You could dig deeper into one of the problems or issues identified in
the book, or you could pursue some other thesis that links social inequality and race
or gender. The paper could be based on the work of Karl Marx and would use mostly
Marx’s writings.
The Major Social Factors
• Social class
• Gender
• Race/ethnicity
• Age
Your Paper Must Have A Thesis!
Your research paper must have a thesis. At the beginning of the paper, you must
state your research thesis. It can be part of a short introductory paragraph or it can
stand alone.
The following explanations include materials that are courtesy of Empire State
College, Online Writing Center.
www.esc.edu/online-writing-center/resources/research/research-paper-steps/
Research Topic
When you start working on your paper, you begin by selecting a topic. A topic is
what the essay or research paper is about. It provides a focus for your writing.
Choose an appropriate topic or issue for your research, one that actually can be
researched. Many topics can be found in your textbook. Example: “Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)”
Research Question
The next step in developing a thesis is to formulate a research question. Start by
listing all of the questions that you'd like answered yourself. (This assumes you are
curious about the topic!) Choose the best question, one that is neither too broad nor
too narrow. In the early stages of your research, you can use a search engine to
learn about the question and explore what high quality sources are available.
Sometimes the number of sources you find will help you discover whether your
2
research question is too broad, too narrow. Example: “Why have ADHD diagnoses
risen so rapidly in recent years?”
Research Thesis
A research thesis is your proposed answer to your research question, which you
finalize only after completing the research. (It's okay to modify and revise the
working thesis as you research more about the topic or issue.) Thesis example: “The
rise of A.D.H.D. diagnoses and prescriptions for stimulants coincided with a twodecade
campaign by pharmaceutical companies to publicize the ...

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

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

May 2019
David Brown
2. The plan for this morning
Lecture
Seminar SeminarSeminar
You You You
3. Looking back
1. Literature searching is a key professional skill
2. Use a range of professional literature in your assignments
3. Use journal articles for up-to-date, high quality research
4. Google Scholar or Library databases help you to locate the best
quality evidence
4. In today’s session
Use a range of search techniques to find
academic sources;
Develop a search strategy based on
your research question;
Consider what makes an effective list of
references and explore methods to
manage your references.
5. By the end of the session
The aim of today’s session is to equip you with skills
and techniques which you might use in the CLG2
assignment.
6. By the end of the session
What makes me a good nurse?
Consider the attributes, values and behaviours
that good nurses demonstrate. Choose ONE
attribute, value or behaviour of a good nurse
that you feel is relevant to you. Discuss how you
have demonstrated your chosen attribute, value
or behaviour in your own practice, with
reference to the learning undertaken during this
module.
You must use predominantly nursing literature to
support your work.
9. Plan before you search
Spend some time analysing your topic. What are the key
concepts in the question?
For each concept, come up with a comprehensive list of
keywords that you will use in your search.
10. Identifying search terms
Come up with alternative words to describe each concept
in your search.
These could be exact synonyms or related concepts. A
concept table can be useful to map out your search terms.
Compassion Nursing
Compassion* Nurs*
Dignity
Empath*
11. Think about the terminology
Think carefully about your search terms, considering:
• Synonyms, e.g. compassion, dignity
• Variant spellings, e.g. behaviour/behavior
• Plurals, e.g. patient(s), child/children
• Abbreviations and acronyms, e.g. CBT, ICU
12. Using truncation
Use truncation to find variations of the same word stem.
The most common truncation symbol is *.
For example:
• patient* will find patient, patients etc.
• child* will find child, children
• behav* will find behaviour, behavior, behavioural etc.
13. Searching with phrases
Some databases allow you to search for phrases by using
quotation marks. This technique searches for the terms in the
exact order in which you type them.
For example: “patient experience” “living with”
14. Combining terms
OR
e.g. compassion*
OR dignity
• Finds either term
• Tends to increase the
number of results
AND
e.g. compassion*
AND nurs*
• Finds both terms
• Tends to decrease the
number of results
16. Creating an effective search
A good quality search
requires time and
thought.
You only get out what
you put in!
Let’s see a search in
action…
17. An example topic
The effect of eating and drinking habits on patients
suffering from bipolar disorder
18. Option 1: Databases work like Google,
right?
I’ve got 0 results, but surely there’s something on the topic!?
Typing the exact question is never a good strategy – all the
unnecessary words will confuse the search and authors will
use a range of words to describe the same topic. I’ll need to
get more creative.
The effect of eating and drinking habits on patients suffering from bipolar disorder
AND
SEARCH
0 results
19. Option 2: Deconstructing the puzzle
I’ve got 3 results – that’s better, but it can’t be everything.
The word ‘and’ in the first row probably isn’t helping. And
these are pretty rubbish! I still need to think more about the
search and come up with more varied terminology. Back to
the drawing board…
eating and drinking
bipolar disorderAND
SEARCH
3 results
20. Option 3: Thinking outside the (puzzle)
box
That’s more like it! I’ve thought about a range of ways to
describe the topic and came up with lots more results.
They’re not all going to be relevant though, so I’ll need to do a
bit more work before starting to read through the results. Can
I add a bit more context?
eat* OR drink* OR nutrition* OR diet*
“bipolar disorder*” OR “affective disorder*” OR “manic depression”AND
SEARCH
635 results
21. Option 3: Thinking outside the (puzzle)
box
Perhaps I could refine the search by adding a location (e.g.
hospital, community) or age group (e.g. adults, children)?
Maybe I just want to look at very recent material so could
limit my results to the last few years. Add in all of this extra
detail before you start reading.
eat* OR drink* OR nutrition* OR diet*
“bipolar disorder*” OR “affective disorder*” OR “manic depression”AND
SEARCH
635 results
25. Evaluating information
For every source you find, you must decide whether it is of
sufficient quality for your assignment – don’t take everything
at face value!
You should be looking for a range of resources to demonstrate
your awareness – usually academic sources are needed, but
other tools can be useful too.
26. Evaluating information
Questions to keep in mind when reading the
information
Why is this important?
Who? Who are the authors? Individuals? Experts?
Companies?
Who published it?
Look out for bias and opinion pieces e.g. a
pharmaceutical company publishing research that
says their new drug is effective.
What? What is the information?
Is it useful to your project?
It needs to relate to your question – try to keep a
focus on the question not just the general topic.
When? When was it published? Recent? Dated? On the whole you will need the most current
information to answer your question.
Where? Where did you find the information: website, blog,
book, journal or database?
Where was the research conducted?
Always try to get your information from reputable
sources e.g. textbooks, journals. Research conduced in
other countries may not be relevant.
Why? Why was it written?
What are the motivations behind it?
Look out for bias – see also ‘Who?’
How? How was the research conducted?
Is it representative?
How can you use it to answer your need?
If it’s a piece of research, how did they conduct it?
Were the method and sample size appropriate and
representative?
Will it support points you are making?
28. Working with your references
You will come across a large amount of references in your
research. You’ll use some of them in your assignments, but
others will be for general interest. Keeping track of your
references is key to save you time and stress.
31. Harvard ≠ Harvard
The Harvard referencing system has been adapted at lots of
different universities. There is no standard version and you
may lose marks if you’re referencing incorrectly. Always refer
to the University of York Harvard style.
32. University of York Harvard style
For advice and examples of the University of York Harvard
style, visit york.ac.uk/integrity. The PDF booklet has the most
common examples, and you’ll find lots of others on the
website.
33. Keeping track of your references
Keep a manual list, either
by hand or in a Word or
Google document.
Use reference
management software to
store details of your
references and to make
notes about them. There
are two options:
• Paperpile
• EndNote Online
• Mendeley
Email or print the citations
from a database. Most
give you automatic
options to do this.

comprehensive search
2. Break down your search topic into the
key concepts, developing a list of terms
for each concept
3. Use a range of databases to search for
resources on your topic
4. Evaluate the information you use to
ensure a good quality range of resources,
appropriate to the assignment
5. Create a well-rounded list of references
with a range of high-quality academic
