English for Writing Research Papers by Adrian WallworkSina Radfar
Publishing your research in an international journal is key to your success in academia. This guide is based on a study of referees' reports and letters from journal editors on reasons why papers written by non-native researchers are rejected due to problems with English usage. It draws on English-related errors from around 5000 papers written by non-native authors, 500 abstracts by PhD students, and over 1000 hours of teaching researchers how to write and present research papers.
With easy-to-follow rules and tips, and with examples taken from published and unpublished papers, you will learn how to:
- prepare and structure a manuscript
- increase readability and reduce the number of mistakes you make in English by
writing concisely, with no redundancy and no ambiguity
- plan and organize your paper, and structure each paragraph and each sentence so
that the reader can easily follow the logical build-up towards various conclusions
- write a title and an abstract that will attract attention and be read
- decide what to include in the various parts of the paper (Introduction, Methodology,
Discussion etc)
- select from over 700 useful phrases
- highlight your claims and contribution
- avoid plagiarism and make it 100% clear whether you are referring to your own work
or someone else’s
- choose the correct tenses and style (active or passive)

ENG2150 - Assignment 2 1
Assignment 2: Research-Based Argument Essay (Part 2)
• Word count: 2,800-3,100 words / ~ 8-9 double-spaced pages
• Font 11-12, Arial, Times New Roman, Calibri, or similar
• At least one primary source and four secondary sources
• Contains formal references, a bibliography and your Writer’s Letter
• Submitted by direct message to me on Slack, by Word Document
• Time needed to complete: about 5-6 hours, highly recommended to spread
over a few days
• Peer-review of first drafts in pairs occurs in Week 13 (May 3rd to 10th)
• Due in Week 15, by May 20th at the latest
(this is a strict deadline, due to the deadline I’m given for submitting final
course grades)
Description
So, here we are: your final project! This is the completed research-based argument
essay that you have already worked on substantially by completing Assignment 1, your
rhetorical analysis. This exercise is fundamental: you’ll be asked to write argumentative essays
very frequently in college. It’s also an amazing skill to have for your future life: you’ll know
how to efficiently analyze any material, critically question things that are presented as truths to
you, and you’ll know how to make a powerful, professionally back-up argument. It doesn’t have
to be tedious: by following the step-by-step method you started for Assignment 1, you have
already spread out the work.
Hopefully you’ve chosen a topic and a medium that you’re deeply interested in, so that
you find enjoyment in your project. Topping up the research you’ve done for Assignment 1 with
the two additional Reflective Annotated Bibliography sheets from Week 12, you may note
that your thesis changes slightly, or your topic framing or approach shifts. That’s complete fine
and normal: it shows you’ve deepened your reflection since first working on your topic,
receiving feedback from me and your peers, and it also allows you to update the research angle
you’re interested in exploring with this final project. An academic will frequently take weeks or
even months to complete a peer-reviewed article like the ones you used for your RefAnnBibs,
adding ideas, rearranging the structure of their argument, and refining their thesis as they go.
Directions
As a reminder, to write a complete, well-presented essay, you need four things: a specific
topic, selected sources, selected evidence from your sources, and most of all, your own ideas
(and a willingness to proofread!). Following is the detailed step-by-step method you’ve already

Note: Grades for papers with high rates of “similarity” will be penalized severely.
Analyzing historical events and their consequences is common research practice. In this essay, choose an historical event that is interesting to you, one that you may even be passionate about. Choose a topic that is debatable and has extensive sourcing. Prior knowledge of the event may be useful, even necessary. This assignment will require that you conduct a reasonable search for documentation and support. Start early and keep good notes. Start with an internet and library search. Good pre-writing protocol requires that you take notes as you read and that you document your sources accurately. Develop a thesis statement that is narrow enough to cover in a short (1700 – 2100) word paper and debatable—make a claim of value, fact, or policy.
Choosing a topic:
You may deal with various aspects of the topic: artistic, geo-political, scientific, moral, aesthetic, cultural, social, or economic. The following suggestions on the attached list may help you choose a topic.
You may wish to take a conservative or a liberal stance on a topic. Be sure that the essay is thesis driven. The essay should be developed according to the methods discussed in class and in the textbook. The paper should be 6 - 8 pages. The paper is worth 200 points. You will be responsible for all phases of the writing process. Research is required (6+ sources cited; websites/magazine/newspaper articles are OK but much less valuable).

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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

Additional Assignments Required:
Due dates for these assignments are listed above and on the course syllabus. Remember, they are due in
class on the date listed and are accepted via hard (printed) copy only; the only exception is if you are
absent, and you then have 24 hours to turn it in or turn it in with the final copy of your essay for half
credit. For each item not submitted on the due date (or completed as requested), your essay grade will
be penalized up to 20 points.
Pre-writing: On D2L, there is a “Pre-writing Worksheet” for this (Essay 2) assignment. Print and
complete this worksheet, answering all questions. (You may handwrite your answers.)
Outline: On D2L, there is an “Outline: Worksheet” for this (Essay 2) assignment. Print and complete
this worksheet, answering all questions. (You may handwrite your answers.)
Draft (first/plain): Submit a draft of your essay that meets all length and source requirements for the
essay assignment (including in-text citations!). This draft must be typed (and printed) and submitted to
the instructor via hard copy (not electronically). Though it must meet the length/source requirements, it
certainly doesn’t have to be completely “polished” as it is just a draft.
PeerMark: Peer Review will be completed through Turnitin.com. You must submit a draft that meets
all requirements for the essay and offer thorough and helpful feedback to the two essays assigned to you.
Self-Editing Worksheet (with Draft): On D2L, there is a “Self-Editing Worksheet” for this (Essay 2)
assignment. You will need to print a draft of your essay (you can use the same one turned into the
instructor) and complete all steps on the worksheet—you’ll need to mark on the draft (as required by the
worksheet) as well.
Proofreading Worksheet (with Draft): On D2L, there is a “Proofreading Worksheet” for this (Essay
2) assignment. You will need to print a new/clean draft of your essay (that has hopefully been revised
and is essentially your final draft) and complete all steps on the worksheet—you’ll need to mark on the
draft (as required by the worksheet) as well.
Annotated Copies of Sources: We discussed and practiced annotating in class, and there is a
description (and example) of it in your textbook as well. You need to annotate both the text you are
analyzing as well as the additional source (from the library database) you are using. For the text, you
can copy it from your textbook or find the full text online; as long as it’s the same article, the page
numbers and format do not have to match (but make sure you cite from the textbook version in your
actual essay!) The article can simply be printed from the database. In terms of annotating, there is no
“length requirement” or “required number of annotations” as long as it’s evident that you have carefully
considered the text and your response(s) to it.
