Also very useful is this article: Writing the Empirical Journal Article by
Daryl J. Bem
He gives some very useful examples of opening statements and how to present your findings.

I found this class a nice review of writing a scientific article. It's my third year of science courses and writing papers so it's interesting finding out how different teachers have different criteria dependent on the class.
ReplyDeleteDuring the summer I took a class that required me to write an abstract and introduction etc... I had no clue with it and ofcourse went online to get more information about it... if Only I had this information before I would probably do better than how i did... for the results also keep in mind that using Excel to show your results (the tables and figure etc) is very helpful in translating those result data, tabls and figures into words.. and try to put all your research that you do that is relevant to your experiments in you discussion,it gives the result a good back up:)... very knowledgeable class prolly one of my fav classes so far:)
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent class. I am currently working on a scientific poster and next week I will be starting a scientific paper for Bio 208. I will be referencing your powerpoint frequently over the next couple weeks.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
This is a great class!! I just wish it was a few weeks ago before my paper came due. At least I will have it for my next one
ReplyDeleteCool class. Wish I had these resources when I had to write a paper for summer research. Would have saved a lot of time.

ReplyDeleteThis presentation was a good review of chem 101, 102, 261, 263 and bio 107 and 207. Mostly stuff I've heard before, but it's always helpful to have a refresher and another point of view from a professor. After hearing the lecture, it was pretty obvious that the practice paragraph had many completely unnecessary sentences.
ReplyDelete"Psychology is a broad field of study. The three main domains of psychology are Bio-psychology, Experimental psychology, and Personality and Social Psychology.

ReplyDeleteI don't know how many words that is, but the second half of the paragraph he wrote seems really pointless so I summed it up in one sentence.
I learned to be a lot more concise in writing a paper. I have wrote papers like the article in class that contained way too many words.
ReplyDeleteSaying stuff like "we are not equally strong in all parts of it." is completely unnecessary to write. It gives no important information pertaining to the topic and is awkward to read.

Very helpful lecture. Emphasis on structure and precision when writing journal articles was shown. This is guidlines I will refer to in the future when writing my own articles.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this topic. The majority of my classes contain labs that require formal labs to be written, as well as, my job. All these tips and guidelines are extremely beneficial to me.

ReplyDeleteThe lecture today was quite helpful. Thanks for teaching us about what should be included in an abstract. I previously didn't know much about writing one.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great lecture today, I am currently working on a paper due next week and i've already looked at the lecture a couple of times already.
ReplyDeleteToday's lecture came at a perfect time, I have a lab report due next week. Thank you for all the helpful tips!
ReplyDeleteGood review of the criteria necessary for writing a scientific paper in today's class, it has been a while since took Bio 107,108 and 208. The resources will be helpful for our upcoming assignment.
ReplyDeleteThis lecture is probably the most useful and practical one we've had to date. I tend to make my lab reports and essays very "wordy" and so it was great to know how to make sentences more concise and simple. I think as students we often choose wordy sentences so it sounds like we know what we are talking about, but half of the time, we're just finding words to make the sentences and paragraphs longer. And because we're so used to doing that, the ability to use simple, concise words, is often hampered. But I'll definitely keep it in mind. Makes me feel a lot less stressed to write up the research article for my huge research project!
ReplyDeleteThe lecture today was extremely helpful especially when it followed a practice along with it. I did not knew what to include in an abstract before, and always got confused between introduction and abstract. I also learned may tips to avoid common mistakes while writing an academic paper. The ideas from today's class will help me become a good writer hopefully! and I will be using today's notes as a reference when i write my essays for this class as well as others.

ReplyDeleteIn my first year of University I had to revise a scientific article and found it very difficult. Taking lengthy and repetitive information and trying to understand it can be hard. I found this lecture very helpful and informative in how to write a good scientific article. I didn't know that people would prefer using smaller words such as when and where rather than trying to make it sound "smarter".
ReplyDeleteI've only written a few academic papers but majority of them don't require an abstract. I find monday's lecture to be really helpful and I'm so glad I learned APA citations beforehand. Instead of focusing on the word count, you should focus on the quality of your writing. More words does not mean a quality paper. You have to make sure the reader clearly understands what you're trying to say.

This is useful, really. I have never learned how to write an article with right format before I came to Canada. Canadian's opinion on writing education is completely different. In China we write "composition", not "article" and teachers don't tell us what kind of format. We focus on the technique of using language, we don't emphasize "format". But not everybody's language is good enough to earn a high enough mark in exam as language is a kind of talent. So I like Canadians' way better---focusing on organization, structure logistic and clearance.
