SY 7034 Week9
This document outlines the plan and content for a university course on research design. It discusses both quantitative and qualitative research methods. For the quantitative methods section, it provides examples of quantitative research questions and the logic and considerations for quantitative research design. For qualitative methods, it discusses qualitative interviews that were conducted and the logic of qualitative research design. It includes exercises for students to design surveys and interviews to research rumors. The document emphasizes understanding both quantitative and qualitative research approaches at a deep level and being able to apply the logic of each to research design.
SY 7034 Week4
This document summarizes a class on research question and design. It discusses:
1. Examining examples of quantitative rationales and research designs, including a case study on Sullivan.
2. An exercise where students rewrite and provide feedback on each other's research questions.
3. A discussion on generalizing qualitative research findings and the importance of context when formulating research questions.
The document provides an overview of the topics and activities covered in the class to help students refine their research questions and think about research design.
SY 7034 Week3
This document outlines the plan and topics for discussion for a university course on research question design. It includes exercises for students to develop one sentence research questions and discusses improving existing questions. There is a suggested break, and discussions on hypotheses, qualitative vs quantitative research, and reflections on research questions from examples like Becker and Firth. Practical considerations for research such as feasibility, ethics, and managing the scope of the question are also covered.
Broad vs. Narrow Topics
The document provides guidance on developing a focused research topic that is neither too broad nor too narrow. It discusses how to determine if a topic is too broad based on the number and relevance of search results, and how to narrow a search using Boolean operators and refined search terms. Similarly, it addresses how to identify a topic that is too narrow by a lack of search results, and how to broaden a search using Boolean operators or changing search terms. Examples are given to demonstrate arranging topics from broadest to narrowest and vice versa. The document concludes by offering tips for developing good research questions for a literature analysis project on Romeo and Juliet.
Choosing a Research Topic
The document provides guidance on choosing an effective research topic. It recommends starting with a broad topic of interest and then narrowing it down by using library databases to answer questions about who, what, when, where and why. This helps formulate a research question that takes a stance and can be supported with evidence. Good research topics are narrow enough to cover in the required pages but broad enough to find information. The topic should be approachable from at least two sides and not answerable with a quick search. Examples of good and bad research questions are provided.
Developing good research questions
The document provides guidance on developing effective research questions, noting that they should address the topic through an open-ended question, include key words for research, and be questions the researcher does not already know the answer to. Examples of too narrow, too broad, or too challenging questions are given. The document also discusses developing sub-questions to help answer the research question.
Prosper%20 english%20project[1]
The document discusses the importance of writing an effective thesis statement. It defines a thesis statement as an explanation of the topic or purpose of a research paper. The main job of a thesis statement is to foreshadow what the entire essay will be about. If the essay is molded around a strong, solid thesis statement, it will result in a successful essay. A good thesis statement has three parts - the subject, a precise opinion, and the blueprint of reasons supporting that opinion. Writers should ask questions to check if their thesis statement answers the assigned question, takes a position others may challenge, and is supported specifically by the essay without digressing.
Reference Interview for Staff
The document provides guidance on how to conduct reference interviews with patrons, including establishing rapport, asking open-ended questions to understand their information need, searching strategically and explaining the process, being skeptical of the initial information provided, and closing the interview by confirming the resources are helpful or making a referral. It also discusses challenges such as failed searches, special needs accommodations, and dealing with difficult patron situations.

Reference Interviews: Where the fun never ends
The document provides guidance on conducting effective reference interviews. It discusses the importance of listening to patrons, clarifying their actual information needs through questions, keeping a positive attitude, getting contact details for follow-up, knowing when to refer patrons to other librarians or outside experts, and constantly refining searches based on the conversation. The summary walks through an example reference interview to demonstrate these best practices.
Why write a Research Question?
The document discusses developing focused research questions that provide structure to an information search. It recommends starting with a general topic and refining it with a question word like who, what, when, where, why or how. Four types of questions are described - yes/no, one-word "inch" questions, multi-sentence "foot" comprehension questions, and multi-source "yard" synthesis questions. The document advises that "foot" and "yard" questions are better choices for most middle and high school research as they involve higher-level thinking skills. Good research questions should be interesting, researchable, significant and manageable in scope.
Creating research questions
This document discusses how to create effective research questions to guide research. It explains that research questions map out the direction of the research. An effective research question needs information from sources beyond yourself, requires background research, and is neither too broad nor too narrow in scope. There are two types of questions: "thin" questions like who, what, when, where that provide background details, and "thick" questions using how and why that explore broader concepts and changes over time. The document provides examples of each and guides the reader in forming their own thick questions.
Reference Interview 101
This document provides an overview of reference interviews for library staff training. It discusses what a reference interview is, why patrons ask certain questions, who provides reference services, tips for conducting interviews such as being approachable, demonstrating interest, active listening, asking open-ended and clarifying questions, following up, and remembering the WORF mnemonic for welcoming, questioning, restating, and following up. Examples of reference questions are also provided.
Focusing research topic
The document provides guidance to a student on how to focus their research topic about vegans by generating specific research questions. It demonstrates how to brainstorm questions about the subtopics, larger systems, categories, changes over time, history, evaluations, and hypothetical scenarios related to vegans. The student is then prompted to organize their questions and identify ones for reference sources, debates, and personal interest. The document emphasizes that narrowing the topic leads to more targeted research results from library databases rather than broad searches on Google.
Developing A Research Question
The document provides guidance on developing a strong research question for a social studies project. It explains that a good research question addresses an issue or problem that cannot be answered by a single fact or source. Students are instructed to consider a broad topic, narrow it to a specific aspect, and write 3-4 open-ended questions to help select the best research question. Examples of potential research topics related to the Progressive Era are given to help students generate their own questions.
Research questions ENG 204
This document provides guidance on developing a strong research topic and question. It explains that a good topic is debatable, researchable, interesting, and allows for a question. A strong topic is limited in scope, appeals to an audience, requires intellectual stretching, and interests the researcher. A research question should be focused, feasible, complex, relevant, and original. It provides tips for choosing a topic and developing a question, such as doing preliminary research and considering audience and academic lenses. Sample questions are given to demonstrate clear, focused, complex, and appropriately scoped questions.
Choosing a Research Topic
This document provides guidance on choosing a research topic. It recommends examining assignment guidelines to choose a manageable topic within the given timeframe. The document suggests starting with a general search using various resources and websites provided. It prompts considering factors like the intended audience, timeframe, available information sources, topic relevance and personal interest. Developing a substantial thesis stating a clear position on the topic after reviewing literature from multiple sides is also advised. An example thesis and outline for a paper on inviting controversial speakers to campus is given.
The publishing process, how to deal with journal editor
This document discusses the scientific publishing process and how to deal with journals and editors. It covers submitting a paper, the review process, responding to reviewer feedback, and final publication. The key steps are submitting to the correct journal and following their instructions, addressing the comments of reviewers who evaluate the paper, revising the manuscript, and working with editors through copyediting and page proofs prior to final publication. Attention to detail, clear writing, and being responsive to feedback increases the chances of acceptance.
Inquiry Spring 2016
Here are potential revisions to improve the LOI:
1. Focus on a specific aspect or element of the education system to change rather than the broad question of whether the entire system should change. For example:
Should high-stakes standardized testing be reduced or replaced in K-12 public education?
2. Provide context or rationale for why the change is being proposed. For example:
How might reducing emphasis on standardized testing in public schools allow for a more well-rounded, student-centered approach to learning?
3. Suggest exploring multiple perspectives on the issue rather than taking a definitive stance. For example:
What are the arguments for and against proposed reforms to reduce standardized testing in U.S
Preliminary Research Strategies Spring 2017
1) The document provides guidance on preliminary research strategies, suggesting to begin by searching familiar sources of information except "content farms".
2) It recommends breaking your main research question into smaller focus questions that explore different aspects and types of information on the issue.
3) Effective preliminary research involves using search terms related to your topic, including keywords, synonyms, examples, and names in addition to possible sources and information types.
Defining a Research Question and Doing Background Research
This document discusses developing a focused research question. It explains that a good research question guides the research process and prevents going off on unnecessary tangents. Developing a research question requires finding the right balance between being too vague or too specific. The document recommends doing background research to help narrow a topic and learn the proper terminology, which aids in crafting an effective research question stated in keywords search tools can understand.
Using cq researcher for presearch
This document provides instructions for using the CQ Researcher database to conduct presearch and find a topic for research. It recommends beginning with the "Hot Topics" or "Browse Topics" sections to find an issue that is interesting, significant, and has multiple sides that can be argued. The document cautions against topics that are overused or about which the student knows too much already. It encourages finding a new topic to learn about. An example is given of using the "Pro/Con" section to explore the debate around a carbon tax. Presearch is distinguished from research, and the goals of presearch are outlined as understanding issues, arguments, theories and deciding what further research is needed.
Plagiarism Workshop
This document discusses plagiarism and provides tips to avoid it. It defines plagiarism as the unauthorized use of another's work without acknowledgement or credit. Plagiarism can be intentional cheating or accidental, but is still serious. The document recommends doing your own original work, beginning assignments early to avoid deadline pressures that could push one to plagiarize. It also advises establishing your own voice through thorough research, keeping drafts to track your developing ideas, and properly citing sources. A checklist is provided to ensure all quotations, paraphrases and summaries are correctly attributed before submitting work. Readers are encouraged to take an online plagiarism certification test.
Questions make the world work ppt by amy provano. mt. bethel kraeger
This document discusses the importance of asking questions and different types of questions. It explains that closed or "red-light" questions that have simple, factual answers stop curiosity, while open-ended or "green-light" questions that require more thought and analysis, like "why", "how", and "which one" questions, promote deeper learning and research. The document provides examples of different types of independent research methods like historical study, action study, experimental study, and correlation study. It also offers tips for effective research, such as evaluating sources, taking notes, and including citations to avoid plagiarism.

Unit 3: Synthesis Project
You will be creating an AP Exam Synthesis Question. The Synthesis Question gives you several sources and asks you to combine (synthesize) them with your own thoughts to create a cohesive essay. This is the same goal as a research paper. Your question (prompt) and sources should be formatted, labeled, and presented as on the AP Lang Exam. This will be modeled after the ones in the sample packets you were given.
Source Requirements:
· 8 sources
· No sources older than 10 years
· At least two sources published within the last two years (2020, 2021, 2022)
· Provide 1-2 sources that are images (political cartoons, graphs, charts, etc.)
· Sources should demonstrate a range of positions and approaches to the topic. Your goal is to figure out what 2-3 of the main “sides” are in the debate around the issue and represent those sides fairly.
Research Resources:
· Use this
link to access academic databases through CPS and Lane.
Example topics:
· Security vs Privacy: Personal Rights
· Standardized Education Movement
· Parenting Styles of the 21st Century
· Why Movements Matter: Voices of the People
· Technology’s Impact on American Families
Project Requirements:
Include, neatly formatted in one document
· Prompt page with directions, introduction, and assignment
· 6 sources
·
MLA citation of each source
· 3 potential thesis statements for this essay
a. One that is open
b. One that is closed
c. One that is a counter argument thesis.
· Choose one thesis statement, and create an outline of a response to ensure that others can synthesize these sources.
The most effective Synthesis Prompts give the test-takers a wide variety of sources to consider. These sources are of various types, lengths, and opinions. This diversity allows each test-taker to choose their own individual approach to the assignment while providing them with the tools to adequately synthesize into their paper.
You are going to choose EIGHT sources specific to your assigned topic. This will ensure that your group will be providing sources that show the complexity of the issue.
Therefore, when choosing your sources, keep several guidelines in mind:
1. Choose sources that cover a variety of viewpoints on your assigned topic, making sure to keep the sides evenly represented.
2. Choose sources from a wide variety of locations and formats. Use the list below as guidance; it is certainly not all-inclusive. Requirements are in CAPITAL letters. Beyond those required types, you may choose the rest of your sources at your discretion.

I too can write a research paper 1.0
This document provides guidance on writing a successful research paper. It emphasizes selecting a narrow topic to allow an in-depth analysis in response to a specific research question. Students should use their own words to interpret and analyze sources rather than directly quoting or paraphrasing large portions. Plagiarism occurs if a student presents others' words or ideas as their own without proper citation. The goal is for students to advance knowledge on their topic through original analysis and argumentation grounded in research, rather than just reporting information gathered.

Research Paper Instructions and Rubric
Research Paper – 150 points
Your final essay in English is a research paper that provides an opportunity to delve fully into a topic of your interest. Writing a research paper—while a challenge—offers a reason to read, research, reflect, think deeply, then address and formally answer in writing a question worth exploring. See the bottom of this document for possible topics.
This assignment is designed to utilize all the skills we have learned this semester, including in-text MLA citation techniques and documentation of sources we have learned in our lab sessions.
The length of the essay should be a minimum of four pages, but no longer than seven pages.
RESEARCH PAPER TIMELINE AND ASSIGNMENTS:
Select a controversial topic - My choice of topic is HUMAN CLONING
Minimum of 4 pages and no more than 7 pages.
A controversial topic is one that reasonable individuals can argue over and that has at least two sides. Gun control and abortion are two classic topics that are controversial; the life of your favorite actor or the history of baroque music are not controversial.
Once you select your prompt, begin researching reliable sources and compiling them into an annotated bibliography. This is a good time to visit our Library and the library’s website and database of academic articles.
List of sources, a working thesis, and first pages of rough draft - 20 points
When this step in the process is due, you will need to have compiled an annotated bibliography (a list of sources with brief descriptions of the source) from your research on your topic. As you encounter sources that relate to your topic, be sure to paraphrase key ideas, record word-for-word quotations you may want to use, and note page numbers from the sources that you can easily reference once you begin to write the paper.
As a research paper, this assignment requires research, which means you need to reference at least three outside sources:
· An article or essay from a reliable, trustworthy source. You should try to include an article from one of the library online databases, if possible.
· One book on the topic, if available; otherwise, you may use another trustworthy source.
· One other source (i.e. another essay from the library database, a website, video, DVD, interview with someone knowledgeable about the topic, etc);
· Note: Please do not cite Wikipedia for this research paper
Turn in your annotated bibliography along with the first pages of your rough draft. By this due date you will need to identify a working thesis statement. (A “working thesis” refers to the idea that because your research will eventually lead to what position you take on your topic, the final thesis will begin to take shape as you read and think about your topic.)
Your thesis statement—which in its final version will answer the question you have identified to research—is a one-sentence (or occasionally two-sentence) statement of your central idea.

Thesis Statements
This document provides guidance on developing strong thesis statements. It defines a thesis statement as a single sentence that asserts, controls, and structures the entire argument of a paper. A good thesis statement will make a specific claim, rather than just an observation, and it will control the entire argument by determining what must be discussed. It also provides the structure of the paper by suggesting how the argument will be presented. The thesis acts as a contract between the writer and reader, so it should not introduce unexpected ideas. The document provides questions to help evaluate whether a thesis statement is adequately focused and specific.

Nanang Zubaidi - Week 2 - Introduction to English Syntax
This document introduces the topic of English syntax. It defines syntax as the underlying rule system that generates grammatically correct sentences. Generative grammar uses a small set of rules to generate an infinite number of structures. Syntactic analysis involves identifying constituents, representing sentences as tree diagrams that show hierarchical relationships, and determining syntactic categories of words. Deep structure represents abstract meaning while surface structure shows observable forms.
Nanang Zubaidi - Week 2 - Gender and English Language Teaching
This document discusses gender and English language teaching. It begins by defining key concepts like sex, gender, and sexuality. Sex refers to biological differences, while gender involves traits assigned by society and culture. Gender is not the same as sexuality. The document then discusses how language both reflects and shapes social reality and gender roles. It provides examples of sexist language and differences in language used to describe war. The document contrasts pre-feminist and feminist views on gender. It concludes by asking students to identify sexist language and discussing why understanding gender in ELT is important.

To effectively take notes while listening, it is important to focus on key information such as words emphasized by the speaker through stress, intonation or repetition. Notes should be concise, using abbreviations and symbols, and include summarizing the main points. Determining the speaker's style and important versus unimportant information helps ensure the notes capture the essential elements in 3 sentences or less.
