1. Reflections:
Transfer your reflections on your search process to your weblog in CHINESE. Describe the effective strategies and the pitfalls to avoid. Suggest how you plan to modify your strategies for further research.
2. Research proposal:
1) Refined topic
2) Refined thesis statement
3) Keywords
4) Map of rough outline (Map out the main points of your research paper using Inspiration. You can put your thesis statement at the center of your map and expand it to include the main points you are going to cover in your paper.)
4) Detailed outline in complete sentences (If you need to find more about how to organize your ideas, click http://www.lib.pku.edu.cn/webcourse/advanced_english/module6.htm)
5) Annotated bibliography with a summary of source evaluation for each source (You can use **** or ** to mark different values of the source after your evaluation.) 4/16/2006 some adjustmentsTo be more realistic, the deadline for your first draft is postponed to May 5, 2006. I encourage you to submit your work ahead of the schedule so that I am able to give you more timely feedback.
One big deadline you need to meet BEFORE the May holiday is a detailed outline of your paper, which cannot be done without sufficient research. Read the reflections by a previous student to adjust your schedule.
I have made some changes in task 7. Please make sure that your work has reflected these changes. We will discuss your search strategies, the way to read journal articles, and the patterns of organizing your paper next week. Work hard! |
